RE: license question
Hi Folks, Take a deep breath and see how much an Oracle license is for a Solaris box with 4 cpus, AFAIK start looking in the thousands of dollars. Try SQL server, Sybase or Informix. None of the above mentioned are particularly cheap, some of these are costing over $595.00 per seat not per unit. IMHO $595.00 for an unlimited user configuration is not bad at all. Granted most users tend to be in the X86 world where hardware is cheap but lets look at the commercial reality of it all, $595.00 is not that bad considering the general backup and support along with the feature set that you receive. BTW it is only $295.00 if you don't want InnoDB.

The MySQL source code, you mean? Well, it's a sealed appliance, a "black box" from the customer's p.o.v.

Same reasoning would apply to the hundreds, if not thousands other appliances currently on the market which are also running Linux (which is also something that the customer can download for free). Are all of those companies just "good at sales"? Case in point: the Linksys routers which everyone owns and which run Linux. My appliance is the same. It just happens it needs a SQL backend. Might be MySQL. Might be PostgreSQL if either/or it's faster in my particular case or more liberally licensed than MySQL (which are things I'm still investigating). Might be something else. -- Pat Ballard __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: license question
Hi Pat, I thought that was discussed before over and over on this mailinglist. I am surprised that many people have isues with that topic. Basically it boils down to 2 questions. 1) Will you include and ditsribute the source code and the changes (if any) and the GPL license in your product ? If yes, than you DONT need a commercial license. if NO, (in other words you dont want to publish any changes you made to the code) then you need a commercial license. 2) Are you selling the product or a service ? If you are trying to sell the customer the very same MySQL product for $$ that he can download, then you must be good at sales, no questions asked. If you are selling a service (Consulting, Installation and setup etc. than you also dont need a commercial license ( + same as under 1 applies). Summary: You only need the commercial license if you change the code and want to distribute it as closed source. You can however at any time make a support contract or buy a commercial license to show your gratitude for the MySQL guys. That is usually a nice gesture, gets you support and backup when you need it and last but not least makes you feel good (peace of mind ;-). I hope that makes things clearer.

Re: License question
First of all, I am not mysql person and I would like to share my personal understanding only. If your program is under GNU's GPL (ie. free open source software) you can use MySQL right away. There is no need to buy license. Otherwise, you may ask whether MySQL is an option or not. It means that if your logs and related information can go to other mean such as a text file then you are no need to buy license. However, if your program can't run without MySQL database, I think license will be required.
