"You need a license if you sell a product designed specifically for use with MySQL or that requires the MySQL server to function at all."
Actually, could someone from MySQL clarify this bit for future reference? If my application includes a standardized method of access such as ODBC, or provides the option to use MySQL in addition to other databases through specific classes and methods (e.g. accessing the old C libs from pre-4.0 days) then does it require a corporate license? -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Kaarel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 12:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MYSQL] Licens problems. >I am developing a small program for a small computer firm. >Now I wonder when I have to buy the corporate licens? >And when to use the free GPL-licens one. > > http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing-examples.html "You need a license if you sell a product designed specifically for use with MySQL or that requires the MySQL server to function at all. This is true whether or not you provide MySQL for your client as part of your product distribution." So yes if your program is designed to work with MySQL, I guess you need to buy a license.
