[QUOTE="Arnix, post: 458806, member: 5521"] I think you missed sections 3 and 5 (you quote parts of 1 and 2 above). Section 4 deals with exceptions for NPO's and Free Commercial Licensing so is irrelevent for open source. 3) Commercial Use: If app is not open source or under special permission "If your application is NOT licensed under GPL or compatible OSI license approved by MySQL AB and you intend to distribute MySQL software (be that internally or externally), you must first obtain a commercial license to the MySQL software in question. " - Section 3 paragraph 1 5) Who can use: If your app is GPL, use it for free. "To all GPL/Open Source enthusiasts we do recommend our products under the GPL licence. We believe that MySQL AB is the world's largest company that offers all its software under the GPL licence. So help yourself to the MySQL server and the drivers and feel the freedom of free software! " - Section 5, paragraph 2 Arnix (tm) [/QUOTE]
