MySQL AB closes access to the MySQL Enterprise Server code
MySQL AB, the developer of the database management system of the same name, intends to remove the source codes of the corporate version of MySQL Enterprise Server from open access. This was announced in his blog, Kai Arno (Kaj Arno), vice president of MySQL AB.
About a year ago, MySQL announced plans to draw a clear line between free and paid versions of the DBMS . The company notes that the free modification of MySQL should be available to everyone, whereas access to the corporate version of the database management system should be provided only to users who have paid for the appropriate license.
Arnaud emphasizes that in the near future, the source codes of the MySQL Enterprise Server DBMS will be removed from ftp.mysql.com and moved to the server enterprise.mysql.com. Access to the latter will be available only to corporate customers who have paid for the license.

The MySQL AB solution caused a negative reaction from the open source community. Some observers began to speculate that the actions of MySQL AB are related to plans for the company to go public .
According to Derek Rodner of EnterpriseDB, by closing access to the sources, MySQL will turn against itself both its paid customers and enthusiasts of the open source community. In MySQL, however, they note that they do not intend to conflict with open source adherents at all. The translation of the source code of MySQL Enterprise Server into closed access, according to the developers of the DBMS, will help prevent the emergence of a large number of side versions of the product.
