We have company 1 that make's a product that communicate with MySQL server
using TCP/IP.
This product (company 1) does not use the MySQL client to connect to MySQL
server. (Don't ask me how, I don't know)
(By the way, this product really exist, that is why I am asking this
question).

Therefore, if Company 2 has a MySQL server (commercial license) and
purchases 100 product from company 1, does company 2 need a 100 MySQL client or driver licenses ???


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."

Seems to me that company 1 should have the commercial MySQL license. Company 2 is not selling anything so they should not need a license.
