Well I don't know if they really would intend to kill MySQL. After all, they did buy the InnoDB engine a while back which was one of the popular ones for MySQL. If anything I'd expect them more to put some of the Oracle SQL Extensions into the language to try to lock more products into their variant (or perhaps the reverse; incorporate the MySQL SQL oddities into Oracle).
But I think this probably will mean the end of several of the smaller projects at Sun for sure...I predict no more SunSPOTs Given the fact that the Oracle press release was talking about how it presents additional cash flow opportunities, I fully expect that projects that don't make a profit and can't be sold off will be shuttered.

Oracle's never struck me as much of a hardware company....
