Doesn't the MySQL AB licence allow for non commercial redistribution?
That would allow FC but not AS, ES WS etc.


it would allow Fedora distribution, but might blindside businesses
that are unaware of MySQL AB's license terms.



*cof*cof* both of you are wrong.

MySQL is GPL'ed which allows and is a good incentive for commercial
redistribution.

What it is not good for is proprietary software distribution, which is a
totally _different_ thing.

Ok, how does this work.. We are developing a PHP based web app that will never be sold and the code is not GPL.. It will be hosted by us and people will subscribe to the service that we are offering and pay a monthly fee.. Would I be required to buy a MySQL licence?

Later..
