Hi Michael, I believe you can purchase a commercial license taking away the GPL provisions from your software if you do not wish to GPL your own software. You can enquire on the MySQL website.

Here's our scenario We developed our owned software needed by our operations using MySQL community edition under Windows platform. GPL says that we should distribute/share the source code. But I think it isn't even of interest or beneficial to others because it was done on the company specs. If we were required to distribute/share our source code. What distribution methods can be used? like uploading the source code in a site? or when someone walks in and asks for the source code, we should share it to them. Thanks, I just need to have some clarifications about the GPL Mic -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
