MySQL was till version 3.22.??? shareware and you had to pay for it when used commercialy (like in your case). You had only 30 days free useage for, lets say, developing - if you would use this aldery versions - in case on new development does not make much sence - you would have to pay. since above version 3.22.???, which means all newer version, is MySQL under the GPL convension which means to mi - it is free for a normal use - (like in your case) - this is what it is my understending of GPL. am I right ??? would anyone correct me ??? see on the http://www.mysql.com/support/arrangements/policy.html this states like "For normal internal use, MySQL costs nothing. You do not have to pay us if you do not want to." I understand that - the term - "internal use" - means here simple use MySQL to make SQL-Databases, lets say, for web.

You can buy it from anywhere I THINK. You might want to check me on that one. Just buy it straight from MySQL's website ( http://order.mysql.com ) . And, in my opinion, I'd just use the free version. Not as much to worry about, but, if you WANT to pay $208 bucks, go ahead. - Deryck H - http://www.comp-u-exchange.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "aDragon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2001 9:53 PM Subject: Should We purchase mysql license Under Windows 2000??----Please Help!!! > hi,Everyone, > I have a great problem now, > I'm building a web site, using MySql as my Database under windows 2000 Advanced Server, and BEA weblogic Server as my server. > I don't whether we should buy the license in order to public our web site for commercial purpose. > And What's the price for only one license of mysql server? > How to buy it in China?
