The reason I use MySQL is because of the GPL community and philosophy. You can't get a little bit pregnant. So no matter what SUN says, once they start down this path it will be a slippery slope.
If this is true then see ya MySQL. My guess is there will be several open source branches of it shortly if at all possible (not sure of current licensing). Otherwise I guess PostgreSQL will become quite popular in a very short period of time.
