(http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/opensource-license.html):
Free use for those who never copy, modify or distribute. As long as
you never distribute the MySQL Software in any way, you are free to
use it for powering your application, irrespective of whether your
application is under GPL license or not.
If you use it as part of a package, customers need a license. If your
offering an app over the web, I read in this that you don't.
Yes, that is right. For people who build web applications, commercially
or otherwise, they don't need to buy a license. If they are building a
web application to be sold as a commercial web installation that uses
MySQL as its engine, then they do. Same for GUI, you do. So most ISPs
provide MySQL for hosting as there is no cost. Upgrading it is a bugger
tho, you can't run two of them on the same machine.
