It's very unlikely that anyone would be foolish enough to try to
proprietarise these projects, although I don't know that mysql have ever
accepted code from anyone else, so Sun could be in a position to change
the licensing going forward, and might just get away with it. It
wouldn't be the end of the world, though, as the GPLed version would be
forked, just like with X.org, and in due course, we'd have a free
version again. Personally, though, I don't think that will be
necessary.
