[OT] InnoDB is no longer free?
http://www.mysql.com/products/
Saw this mentioned on the WO list. So it looks like the free version of MySQL can't use InnoDB (??). Oracle's acquisitions are finally paying off ... for them. PostgreSQL suddenly looks very attractive again.

Sweet ... I've been starting a push for PostgreSQL here and this will
add more fuel to the fire.

This explains current MySQL licensing:

So there's still InnoDB in the free Community Edition, but looks like Oracle will keep everybody nervous for a while one way or another:

I thought at first maybe they just meant the pricing if you want a
support contract, but the more I look at that page the more I'm
convinced that isn't the intention.

They can't un-GPL the code they have released. Although that is a very odd product page from Snorcle, there is no current reason to stop using InnoDB:

Still, you can't wonder what their strategy is in the medium term... I am sure the MariaDB people are very happy with their new marketshare.
