CentOS - Nov 2010 - Oracle charging for InnoDB support in MySQL : what is going to change for us?

Hi,

I've noticed that Oracle is charging for the MySQL version that supports
InnoDB (http://www.mysql.com/products/).  I could not find any other link
with direct confirmation of what is going to change for the existing
servers/versions and I was wondering if anybody has a more detailed info.

For example, is RHEL (and CentOS) going to drop support for it?   Are we
going to see any further updates for security issues?

I don't see anything on that site that says they are charging for
InnoDB.  Actually, on the detail page for the free MySQL Community
Edition, I see this:

The MySQL Community Edition includes:

    * Pluggable Storage Engine Architecture
    * Multiple Storage Engines:
          o InnoDB
          o MyISAM
          o NDB (MySQL Cluster)
          o Memory
          o Merge
          o Archive
          o CSV
          o and more
