Direct from Sun/MySQL, with some better details -- they're essentially
not releasing source to plugins:

about MySQL with this announcement):
http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/2008/04/17/mysqls-business-model-in-a-state-of-flux/

Slashdot may seem over-zealous, but there's a lot of good, balanced
