I think we've all seen and are once again seeing a similar maneuver. Can you get MySql from mysql.org, sure but it's going to be left way in the dirt by MySql AB until their version is the only acceptable one out there. Course by then it probably will acquire a different name. and of course a higher price tag. Only the lawyers win!!!The only version out there is the MySQL AB version. The company owns MySQL: mysql.org points to mysql.com and mysql.com is MySQL AB.
MySQL is a lot like RedHat Linux in many respects - you can download and use the software for free; you can buy the boxed CD and Manuals; you can buy a commercial license; you can buy support and training; and you can pay to take certification exams.
