I think you overestimate how much Sun controls MySQL. They have not made anything closed-source, and the stories that they were considering it a couple months ago were quite misleading. I think you're overestimating this in general actually. PHP is certainly not controlled by a company, and Fedora is a very open project.
<p>Would it be any better if the top contributors to Postgres left the project than if the MySQL ones did? Unless you have some data showing that one project has a much more centralized group of contributors, I don't think you can draw any conclusions based on who makes money from it.
