You should note that they only can re-license the code because they own all the copyrights. Any users making contributions are required to assign copyrights to MySQL AB. So Linus could not take Linux and start his own proprietary OS with it because all the individual coders own their own submissions. > i.e. you can make money licensing open source code. In that case you're making money licensing proprietary code.
