In contrast to the MySQL Enterprise Server, which receives both monthly
rapid updates and quarterly service pack releases, there is no specific
schedule for when a new version of the MySQL Community Server is
released. While every bug fix that has been applied to the Enterprise
Server will also be available in the subsequent Community Server
release, there will be source-only releases in between full (source and
binary) Community builds. So while the latest published community
sources will always be available from the Source Downloads Section, the
binaries listed on this page may be from a previous release. In any
case, full binaries for all our supported operating systems are and will
remain conveniently available from this page.

And no BDB (at least last I checked is not GPL)
