I cannot say that FESCo won't pass a rule "we do not ship MySQL" :-) but in reality, any package can be included in Fedora as long as there are no legal reasons not to include it (not a case of MySQL) and it has a maintainer (approved packager takes care of it) who obeys the packaging rules > I smell a proxy war against Oracle for their Oracle Linux efforts, > totally politically motivated and with dubious technical reasons. But > hey, that´s just me. yep, it may seem so from outside but, to me, these *are* technical reasons - if you were the package maintainer, how would you fix a bug which is described like: "Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier, and 5.5.28 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Information Schema." [http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-0384] and there is no upstream patch associated to it? wouldn't that be better to go with a database project that doesn't keep the informations secret and gives you access to patches needed to fix your package?
