Is Oracle MySQL the same as MySQL?

Question

I have MySQL on a system, and I am trying to determine if it is Oracle MySQL, or MySQL. Is there a difference between Oracle MySQL:

and "regular" MySQL:

or are they the same thing?

Scroll to the very bottom of the mysql page, look at the logo on the right... — Mat

It's the same thing. MySQL was being developed under the auspices of Sun Microsystems, and Oracle bought Sun. The code isn't "owned" by Oracle (or Sun previously) as it is open source, but the branding and name is probably copyrighted. — halfer
