If you don't like it switch to miriadb A.K.A the all GPL fork of mysql which isn't controlled by oracle.
MySQL's dual license has always been controversial even before Oracle got involved. There were always questions, and serious concerns about it, namely that contributions made under the GPL version would get rolled into the paid license version, which is clearly a violation of the spirit if not technically the letter of GPL version 2. One of ( there are more) the big driving forces behind the writing of version 3 was to close the loopholes that allowed this to happen. The problem with adoption is that it went a little too far too quickly and the world wasn't ready for things like getting rid of the LGPL yet, that should have been put off till version 4
