Aside from the MySQL "Limited GPL" stupidity, if you hold that MySQL's interpretation is correct (I don't) then releasing the code is insufficient, you HAVE to GPL your code, which you can't because Valve's license for the SDK is not GPL compatible. You either "violate" MySQLs interpretation of the GPL and leave yourself open to a law suit from MySQL, or you GPL you code and risk a suit from Valve, or you use PostrgreSQL and don't have to worry. It seems obvious to me which is the most logical choice. Note that I don't think MySQL or Valve would actually bother to sue you ... unless your plugin is super and lots of people use it :) Jeff _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
