As you can guess
My guess would be that they plan to keep MySQL from gaining even more
features that might persuade someone to use MySQL instead of Oracle.
Buying up the storage engines for MySQL was probably an earlier
attempt at preventing companies from choosing MySQL (at the very
least, by promoting F.U. & D.)
