Apart from Judge Saris, drop an email to The GPL Enforcer Moglen, stupid
Merijn.
http://www.gnu.org/press/mysql-affidavit.html
"The GPL uses copyright doctrine to achieve the result of the principle
that we should all ``share and share alike.'' Thus anyone who combines
GPL-licensed software with other program code must release the combined
work under GPL, and must provide the source code for the entire
derivative work."

With respect to the General Public License (GPL), MySQL has not
demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success on the merits or
irreparable harm. Affidavits submitted by the parties experts raise
a factual dispute concerning whether the Gemini program is a
derivative or an independent and separate work under GPL ¶ 2.

So MySQL lost and didn't get an injunction.
