I would second this. If you look at projects with contributing community 
most are not led by a single entity. I can think of a few 
(Fedora/Redhat) but MySQL certainly doesn't qualify. For the most part, 
the strongest amongst the open source community that have commercial 
interest are lead by a diverse crowd of community members, contributors, 
competitors and friends.
