Be Cautious About MySQL Licensing (was Re: Database suggestions?)

A compelling point, methinks.

Since you can use PostgreSQL for desktop, LAN and Internet-deployed  
apps, adopting it from the outset eliminates a lot of hassle, I'd  
guess. (I've never actually coded a PostgreSQL app but I may change  
that in the near future.) It seems like the only thing you sacrifice  
with PostgreSQL by most accounts is performance, but it's not clear  
to me how much performance is sacrificed and under what specific  
circumstances or loads.
