Maybe an explanation of licensing is in order here. It's a very
confusing topic. The original purpose of copyright is exactly as it
seems it should be a set of laws used to determine who has a right to
make copies of something. Now in today's digital age that's a lot
more confusing because everything is a copy. In order to play a song
that is stored on my hard drive, a copy is loaded into RAM, and then
copied to various levels of cache, and then to the cpu, this process
makes a lot of "copies". A simpler example is that when I install
software to my hard drive, I'm making a copy.

Kyle,
Thank you for that good explanation.
I was researching more about this issue and it appears that there are
already forks of MySQL out there. I found a product called "Drizzle"
which is a fork of the MySQL 6 code.
