You may have read the mission statement, but you appear to have entirely
missed the four foundations:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations

of which 'Freedom' and 'Friends' are notably the first. The concerns
I've seen raised around MySQL are not related to the 'merits and the
quality of the...code' but to the freedom of the development community,
a topic that was noticeably absent from your mail.
