I doubt if they can -- from the InnoDB website: The GPLv2 License The GNU General Public License version 2, under which both MySQL and InnoDB are published, does not allow, without permission from MySQL AB and Innobase Oy, linking of InnoDB and MySQL, or the client libraries of MySQL, to a product which you distribute but which does not itself satisfy the GNU GPLv2 license. So if Innobase doesn't grant MySQL permission, they have no leg to stand on. Either way, I think Falcon is the future if you want to stay with MySQL only, other options are available if you want to go 3rd party...
