That was my understanding. I would leave it for now. I think that we'll be fine. If the MySQL legal team really wants to press the issue with us we can always just drop support. The one thing I wouldn't do is openly ask them. Even if their position is wrong, they have enough money to pay lawyers to win a case for them so let's avoid that like the plague. > > -- > pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Post Messages to: [email protected] > Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev > _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
