Frans: Legalities aside, why not let fairness and common decency prevail? The MySQL team has a created a powerful, functional DB server. If you use their product(s) in a commercial application for which you are being paid, why would you NOT want to purchase a license?
If the US$200 price is too high, then perhaps you should re-examine the fee you are charging.

This program uses an mysql database as backend(the implementation is not in use yet, but my intention is to use mysql). To be really sure about this: Do the hotel _have_ to get an MySql database License or will they stay legal without one? I know, mySql is released under the GPL license but I need to be really sure about this. I would love to buy an license to support the Mysql team but since the license would be drawn from my payment I'm hesitating.. 200USD is alot of money here in Sweden, atleast for me. regards, Frans Englich [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
