The source trees are now up to date with the latest releases, which is
nice.

MySQL has, for a VERY VERY long time been a pretty closed development
model. Any moves that Oracle are making here have been a *long* time in
the making (at least 6 years).

If you're wanting real free and open source software *projects* (not
just source releases), may I recommend Drizzle and PostgreSQL. Very
robust communities.

I Agree.
Postgresql has done fine by me for nearly 10 years - and of course the main open source competitor to the "Oracle Database" itself (and other enterprisy databases).  I thought it was rather odd that they (Oracle) bought mysql to begin with...
