Our basic answer is No. If you ship MySQL (server or client) with a commercial (non opensource) application you should pay. I develop a program with Delphi with access MySQL database. I'll sell my program, and ONLY give a copy of MySQL to the users, or indicate the place to download to them. Does my client need to pay a license to MySQL AB? Not, it actually you who need to pay in this case. Or you can distribute with source code (just like we do!). Other case: I develop a web-site with PHP wich access MySQL database to a client who paid for it. The users do not need to install MySQL. Does anybody need to pay something? Who? (Remember that my Web Server just run PHP and MySQL, wich are free. My site (wich is paid) uses the services provided by the web-server) In this case there is not distribution so no fee is needed. We would like to be paid in this case also but there is legal requirement for a license if you do not distribute. But we would like every one who uses MySQL for commercial services to pay for support! In this case, does my client, the web-server or I need to pay a license to MySQL AB? No, as explained above. The GPL kicks in when you *distribute* and then you can either distribute all (including your) source code or buy a commercial license from us.

I am the licensing guru for MySQL AB and one of the founders. With regard to MySQL software falling under the GPL licence, I was too focussed on studying the GPL licence itself, and missed this very clear section of the MySQL AB licence: As long as you never distribute (internally or externally) the MySQL Software in any way, you are free to use it for powering your application, irrespective of whether your application is under GPL or other OSI approved license or not. In all fairness to MySQL AB, that wording is clear enough, I would say. :) My eye also caught the following blurb: We also believe that if you have strong reasons NOT to go GPL, you also have the monetary means to purchase commercial licences. Conversely, I would say: I also believe that if you have strong reasons NOT to go COMMERCIAL, you also do not have the monetary means to purchase commercial licences. In other words: relax. :) Worried people who are asking questions here to the effect of their program using MySQL requires a commercial licence, are likely people who cannot afford a commercial licence anyway. - Mark - 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?

Hello. This is quickly heading towards off-topic. If you are interested in a discussion of what the GPL means, a different forum would be more adequate, I think.

Re: [OT] LEGAL information about MySQL.
One final thouhgt for the people who wish to sell your own products. You can distribute your own products, but let your customers download the GPL packages. In that way, you are not distributing that. And you can include your license saying that something like any utilziation of third-party packages will be solely your(i.e., your customers) responsibilities. In that way, you do not have to concern about legal obligations while at the same time you can freely sell your own products. Pae P.S.: Just for MySQL, you should appreciate those people who make their products utilizing MySQL.
