Yeah, the web site just talks about the straight GPL now. This was back
when the whole thing was still with tcx, before mysql.com even existed.
I'm sure they dropped that a long time ago.

I've installed mySQL several times on Windows boxes in the last month or
two
and haven't noticed anything special on license info. But it's been easy
to
set up. But I'd go for whatever on the database side of things.

The MySQL Windows version does require a license to the best of my
knowledge. As far as hoops go, it's no that bad if you go to
www.abriasoft.com. If you get it from there, it even comes with a nice
installer.

Yeah, the PostgreSQL team's official statement is that Windows is only
usable via the Cygwin utilities, and that they have no plans for a native
version on any Microsoft platform. However, unlike mySQL, they don't have
different licensing requirements for Windows vs. Unix. Last time I
checked, you had to jump through some registration hoops with mySQL on
Win32.

Meaning that it is basically unsupported under Windows. There are binaries
but I haven't been able to find any install docs (at least ones that don't
mention using the cygwin port of gcc to compile the libraries) and it
doesn't look like its anywhere as simple to install as mysql is under
Windows.
