Folks,
We have a commercial product that uses mysql 4.0.24. We bought a commercial
licence for this version.
We want to upgrade to 5.0.21.
I spoke with the MySQL saleswoman this morning and she says they don't do
upgrades and want another entire licence fee for v5.x.
Does anyone else have experience of this? Upgrading commercial licences?
What's the story?
Thanks - Adam
Hi Adam,
That is a very interesting development. Is your license under the MySQL
Network? I am considering using this for a number of new servers and
would have to rethink my strategy if this is the case.
I notice their Network FAQ has
Q: Does MySQL Network include MySQL 5.0?
A: Yes, MySQL Network includes all updates and upgrades including MySQL 5.0
It is also very interesting that the Network product automatically
includes a GPL covered product rather than a commercial one by default.
How many people actually check on that before purchase? Are they aware
they have purchased a GPL product and are now obligated under that
license to GPL their distributed products?
Regards
