I thought it was rather odd that they (Oracle) bought mysql to begin with...
Sun bought Mysql, then Oracle bought Sun.
Before Oracle bought Sun, 4 years earlier or so, they bought Innobase who developed the InnoDB engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innobase http://www.innodb.com/company/ ... so acquiring the rest of the commercial licensing rights makes sense from Oracle's perspective.
