“Deja vu. Remember 2002? That’s when Red Hat decided to split
its code into Red Hat Advanced Server (now Red Hat Enterprise
Linux) and Fedora. Howls of protest and endless hand-wringing

License and only give its tested, certified Enterprise code to
those who pay for the service underlying that code (gasp!).
Immediately cries of protest are raised, How dare MySQL not give
everything away for free…?”
