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

[Dan Shafer]

Not really, Ruslan. If I have an app that I'm distributing on CD/DVD  
or downloading but which is intended for single-user deployment, I  
would use altSQLite because it's fast, free, and (thanks to Altuit)  
trivial to incorporate into my Rev apps.

Where MySQL becomes an issue is when the app is multi-user by nature.  
If the app can be deployed over the Internet, then MySQL is a viable  
option. If it has to be deployed on a LAN, it's just not.
