Hm, My error, but I was working on the assumption that the code / app used was not GPL. Am I wrong in thinking that an in-house admin system revolving around BASH scripts & the mysql / mysqladmin etc would require a GPL or other license? Or would this App be exempt as it uses other (definately GPL) apps to access the DB?
