I have just found out that there is a possibility of mysql being made closed source. Mysql is the major database used by many small companies and game servers. It does everything from run the forums to record simple stats. Mysql is used my many plugins like in wcs to record what race you select and even in future zm versions for what zombie you select.

If mysql becomes closed source it will not only cause it to cost a lot of money, putting servers, companies and even private users out of business it will also kill the local database for game server side utilization. This means that mods like wcs, zombie mod and others that require large databases will either not exist or will create massive lag like the current zombie server does over time.
