From http://helpmysql.org/en/theissue/gplisnottheanswer:

> MySQL's database server has traditionally been a product developed and maintained by a single company, not a community project depending on volunteers or on multiple vendors (like Linux).

The time has come to solve that problem, instead of complaining about rights which the very same guys behind the petition (Monty Program AB) deliberately retained and eventually sold for megabucks.

Please, fix the wording "would a fundamental conflict". A missing verb perhaps.

> I, the Undersigned, use MySQL professionally and believe that Oracle, if it acquired Sun's MySQL, would a fundamental conflict of interests between MySQL...

While there are legitimate competitive concerns with Oracle owning MySQL, there's also something unseemly about people who got rich selling control of their GPL'd software demanding that the current owners relicense it under a more liberal license.
