"it seems more likely to me that it was simply a mistake, and one they'll walk back at some point."

How do you explain removing access to the source repository then? Or the fact that the documentation is not free to redistribute?




How do you explain removing access to the source repository then?

I can easily explain it, because it never happened. Access to the MySQL source repository on launchpad is available for anyone to browse. Oracle is occasionally lazy about updating it, but they've never removed access AFAIK.

Or the fact that the documentation is not free to redistribute?

The documentation has never been free to redistribute, it was that way under Monty, it was that way under Sun, and it remains that way under Oracle.
