I am under the same impression. But here's a quote from the MySQL site:
<QUOTE>
A license is required if:
* You sell the MySQL server directly or as a part of another product or
service
* You charge for installing and maintaining a MySQL server at some client
site
* You include MySQL in a distribution that is non redistributable and you
charge for some part of that distribution
If you use MySQL in a commercial context such that you profit by its use, we
ask that you further the development of MySQL by purchasing some level of
support. We feel that if MySQL helps your business, it is reasonable to ask
that you help MySQL. (Otherwise, if you ask us support questions, you are
not only using for free something into which we've put a lot a work, you're
asking us to provide free support, too.)
</QUOTE>
So, the fine line is...if you are a consultant to creates kiosks for
clients, then they have to pay. If you are an employee of a company that
uses MySQL in a product, you don't have to pay. Kind of weird. I suggest
asking someone at tcx how they interpret your situation, Johann.
