Yes but they didn't build it. They bought it. Maybe to sweeten the deal for a buyer. MySql might not have sold to Oracle directly?

Correction, Sun might not have sold to Oracle directly if they didn't have MySQL on board...

Like this Oracle gets a very large number of extra contacts in the corporate database world.
