Personally, I would prefer to see MySQL one day as a GPL-only project. I see most of the most successful free software projects working this way, and I believe it is not accidental. For now, I agree we need to keep the option open of selling Monty Program development to Sun (/Oracle) for them to dual license. It it ever becomes clear that this is not going to happen, I would argue for dropping the copyright assignment. One should not underestimate how obnoxious things like the MCA are to potential contributers. If we really want to keep the option of re-licencing open, shouldn't we change the MCA to assign the copyright to the ODBA, not Monty Program? Anyway, we can feel free to disagree on this. - Kristian.
