[Bacula-users] bacula and MySQL license
Hello, I am preparing a NFS server (Linux) which is a part of a global project for a customer. This NFS server will be backuped with bacula; I use MySQL for the database. Could someone explain me if I am right with MySQL licencing ? MySQL is only used for the bacula data. My global project is not GPL; but my NFS Server and bacula are GPL. Can I install bacula and MySQL on this server with respect to GPL licencing ?

You're only affected by GPL licence if you want to change the code of either MySQL or Bacula. Otherwise it doesn't matter. -- Silver - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

If your business is services, you have no problem at all, if you are doing some sort of closed source software development, it would be necessary to analyze the particular case.
