Answering qu1j0t3:
The difference between Sun and Oracle is that Sun did not have a strong
money generating competing product to their open source products that would loose a lot of money because of their open source products.

Oracle has a lot to gain by letting MySQL slowly die. If we can generate a lot of awareness about this, there is a good chance that Oracle will not get MySQL unconditionally, which gives MySQL a much better chance to survive, which is good for everyone that is using MySQL. It will also help keep prices down in the database market, which is good for all Oracle users (but not good for Oracle, the company)
