It's a little more liberal than that. For example, you can run a web site with it for free if you want. The restriction is the standard GPL licensing restriction that says you can't use it for free in a commercial application unless that application is also GPL'ed. MySQL was built itself with other GPL software so it's probably required to have this sort of licensing. So you *can* use if for free -- just release the source to your application. 8-) The licensing info is here: http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html -- Steve Sapovits GSI Commerce, Inc. http://www.gsicommerce.com Email: [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?
