I think it will be a while for that to happen unless they put out a 
LGPL/BSD wrapper that these plugins can tie in. Even then I am not sure 
how usable it would be since many of them want to link against the 
MySQL.so libraries which would require for the whole thing to be GPL'd..

[However this is where I am venturing into IANAL lines as what various 
software licenses mean .. and can interact is a pain.]
