Valiant: Come on. Nobody's gonna drive this lousy freeway when they can take the Red Car for a nickel.
Doom: Oh, they'll drive. They'll have to. You see, I bought the Red Car so I could dismantle it.

I don't think Oracle has any interest in InnoDB other than to pull the rug out from under the commercial version of MySQL. Ranks right up there with MS's gutting of STAK and Sun's claim of language ownership for Java.
IMO-YMMV.
