The project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of propietary agreements. MySQL is owned and sponsored by a single for profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now a subsidiary of sun microsystem] As of 2009[update] Oracle Corpoation began the process of acquiring Sun Microsystems.
In response to the Oracle acquisition, members of the MySQL community have created several forks such as Drizzle and Maria DB in fear that Oracle would hurt the development of MySQL because it is a competitor to the company's own database products.
MySQL is often used in free software projects that require a full-featured database management system, including projects such as WordPress, phpBB and other software built on the LAMP software stack. It is also used in many high-profile, large-scale www products
