A few years back I went to a trade show where I met a representative of
MySQL. Since MySQL is not free for comercial applications I asked him if
I could use Delphi (at the time) that supports MySQL to write an app
that uses MySQL and distribute it. He answered: "only if you supply the
souce to the app as well". I then asked if I could distribute the app
and let the client download and install MySQL seperatly. He said no
since the component used by Delphi was GPL and therefore forced me to
distribute my sourcecode anyway.
My question: does anyone know how this issue stands with Lazarus?
Regards,
Andreas
