I think that there are a number of things Oracle could do to assuage the concerns of the EU antitrust folks. It boils down to the copyright and dual-licensing issues as Monty says. One approach would be to shift to a BSD-style license, where it is a total free-for-all on how the code is used. Another would be to sign a generic stand-still that says that they will not file copyright suits against anyone, which is close to the BSD-style approach but retains a bit more control on defining the official code stream. I’m confident that Oracle will get a green light somehow, but I doubt that they want to dump MySQL onto a standards body.
