As a condition of getting European Commission's approval of its acquisition of Sun/MySQL, Oracle had to agree to continue the GPL release.

In case anyone is interested in what specifically Oracle agreed to do, this is the text from the decision (they agreed to do the following for 5 years post-deal-closing) :

"Commitment to enhance MySQL in the future under the GPL. Oracle shall continue to
enhance MySQL and make subsequent versions of MySQL, including Version 6,
available under the GPL. Oracle will not release any new, enhanced version of MySQL Enterprise Edition without contemporaneously releasing a new, also enhanced version of MySQL Community Edition licensed under the GPL. Oracle shall continue to make the source code of all versions of MySQL Community Edition publicly available at no
charge."
