1. Create a good product and a company.
2. Sell the company for 1 billion. (Profit!)
3. Whine about how the new owner is bad and leave it.
4. Start a NewAndBetterMySQL company.
5. ???
6. Profit?
Now seriously. If there will happen a confrontation between "Oracle MySQL" and "OpenSource MySQL", I see two possible outcomes:
1. Noone will pay 1 billion for NewAndBetterMySQL next time.
2. The confusion between different versions of the database may mean, that the "OpenSource MySQL" will lose the enterprise market for some time.
