MySQL license and revolution

[Chris Sheffield]

That is my understanding as well, so I was a little confused by Tuviah's
post.  Thanks for the info.

You should read this:
http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html

I am not a lawyer, but here is my understanding:

If you are *distributing to others* MySQL server code or binaries, then 
you ARE required to pay.
If you are just *using* the mysql server via client connections then 
you are NOT required to pay, even in commercial apps.
If you GPL your software you are NEVER required to pay.
