I'm sure that the few $K in support contracts that come out of this kind of MySQL conversation will justify the $1B they spent:
After a profoundly awkward silence, one of the individuals from their internal development team piped up, "Actually, everybody uses it. Why bother hassling with license agreements when MySQL's got you covered. We're stoked you bought them."
At that rate, I'm sure Sun will monetize that investment in just a century or two. Good luck with that :)
