They might be kind and give you mysql and a host of other GPL features under a very restrictive license. With any PHP before 5.3, you'll have to compile any of the MySQL extensions (ext/mysqli, PDO MySQL, ext/mysql) against the MySQL Client Library (libmysql). libmysql is GPL + FLOSS Licence exception [1]. As of PHP 5.3 you can optionally compile all the MySQL extensions against the MySQL native driver for PHP (mysqlnd) instead of compiling against libmysqlnd. mysqlnd is part of the PHP source tree and as such licensed under the terms of the PHP license. PHP's license is, as Cristian says, very liberal and you have nothing to worry about until you link to something ;-) Go PHP 5.3, go mysqlnd ;-) Ulf [1] http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception.html -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DEV] License for Windows binaries
Hi all, Could anyone tell me the license of the binaries and source code placed here? http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/ I am developing a commercial package software using PHP and I will build libraries and PHP my own. Is it ok to use Visual Studio project files in these zip files (http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/source/) or these binaries (http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/) for our commercial product and distribute our product with those binaries?
