Since I don't think MySQL and Oracle (the database) actually compete on very many fronts it's more an issue of whether MySQL will receive adequate funding. Most people using Oracle are locked in due to the many many non-standard features. SQL has totally failed as a standard, but I don't think that is exclusively Oracle's fault... plenty of blame to go around, and much of it to careless users.
