That alone does not count, since it is still OSS.

As long as _MySQL_ maintainers are able (and want) to continue MySQL (or
some other person) there is no reason to not keep it in Debian.

I also can not get used to the thought that we only provide one
alternative like some other more or less popular distributions, where
you need e.g. a HTTP daemon and then you just can install Apache from
their repositories.
