you're right! It's NOT free.

Ok, if you're not making money on what you're working, then you're right! But: Is it the fault of MySQL AB that you sell your work for nothing? I don't understand, why everybody wants anything for free! Open Source != Freeware The license of MySQL is very cheep! Look at oracle and you know what I try to explain. Ok, Oracle is an other thing, seems to be for very greath projects, but if you need speed and having a small budget then MySQL is a good choice.
