Are you actually distributing MySQL with your application? Or are you just using installations that are installed separately? You only need the licensed version for two possible reasons: 1) You are bundling the MySQL server or the C client code in your application which is not licensed under the GPL or a compatible Open Source Initiative license approved by MySQL. 2) You want support. That's it. Pretty simple. If your application simply *uses* MySQL but you are not distributing any of the MySQL source code in your program or along side your program you don't need the license. If I'm wrong about this someone please yell at me. I've been studying for the MySQL certification and this is covered in the first chapter of the study guide. :-) Regards Jim Grill -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
