The various Google Summer of Code slots have been awarded to the participating projects. As most of you will know, the Summer of Code is all about enticing programmers to contribute to open source projects. Students submit their ideas to mentor organisations (these mentors are approved by Google first), and after selecting the ideas the mentors like the most, the programmers work to complete their task. If they succeed, Google will grant them a stipend. Google selected 174 mentor organisations for this year's Summer of Code. Read on for a selection of interesting applications that have been approved.

According to Google SoC FAQ, code produced by students must be released under an OSI approved license.

So I expect the community will get the code produced for MySQL.

I'm interested. Are there safeguards to ensure that the sources/modifications made by GSOC students are released to the comunity, or will these be only released to Enterprise customers?
