Theres a large undertaking to make an alternative SQL solution other than MySQL the industry standard in hosting. That'll hurt Oracle more than anything else could, because that is often their main target.Oracle might just get a backlash in five or so years when current MySQL users are in a position to affect corporate DB strategies, just saying.
End of the day if enough people are opposed to it being removed, it would end up being put back. Makes you wonder if it would be put back too late leaving people moving to another db though. Would be a massive change for the internet world though if it happened.
My thoughts entirely. My personal opinion is if Im gonna pay for a database I will be using a windows platform with SQL Server.
Even MSSQL has a free flavor with full functionality of the paid one

The original point was that they'd pay for Windows MSSQL rather than pay for MySQL.MSSQL isn't too practical for most as it doesn't work on Linux...very few will be willing to use Windows over Linux.
