The discussion isn't about the possibility. The discussion is predicated on a
single entirely unfounded report claiming they *are*. In fact Sun has made
repeated unambiguous declarations that they have no intention of doing so.
They're releasing (albeit slowly) their crown jewels with Solaris as open
source it's not especially credible that they're going to keep MySQL in the
box at the same time and that's certainly not what they're currently doing.
