I talked to Mark from Google here at MySQL UC and he told me that Google
has no issues giving MySQL the right to commercial proprietary licensing
the code. However of course Google's lawyers need to review the MySQL
CLA before these changes can make their way into the MySQL standard
distribution. Of course MySQL AB also has final say on if they actually
want to integrate the code or not.
