MySQL was forked and the fork is the defacto standard shipped by linux distros. To me the only MySQL that existed was the one by Sun, now MariaDB has completely succeeded it. Do you see the licensing/distrubution clusterfuck with Java as a good example of open-source stewardship by Oracle? Which Java disto are you using?[1] Do you see the Google v.

That is why it is still not a part of the Linux kernel. A company that is basically a meme with the amount of lawyers it imploys would easily find a safe way to allow integration into the Linux kernel if only they wanted to contribute.
