My opinion, is largely based on the fact that MySQL didn't become Free Software until VA Linux handed them a check for a million dollars. I think Monty was never really on board with us, and Larry Augustin's money is long ago spent. I suspect he's had a case of seller's remorse now that he can't dual-license MySQL code anymore so now he's trying to dump the GPL.
