Checking. I don't think the customer bought the "network" version. Apparently its MySQL Pro Licence V4.
It's a bit rich not to offer upgrades at a discount IMO.

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?
