"MySQL quietly let slip that it would no longer be distributing the MySQL Enterprise Server source as a tarball, not quite a year after the company announced a split between its paid and free versions. While the Enterprise Server code is still under the GNU General Public License, MySQL is making it harder for non-customers to access the source code."

Besides their customers (who are actually using the product) I don't think a lot of people were doing anything with the code, so I don't see the issue. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Either way it's their right to only release source code to customers.
