First, I don't think that's true any more.  The license is needed only
if you're getting paid to set up MySQL.  But I could have misread.

Second, why anyone still uses MySQL on a new installation now that
PostgreSQL has surpassed it and gone on to being a "baby Oracle",
while MySQL plays "catch up", I can't figure out.

I heard/read somewhere that although MySQL lacks the features of PostgreSQL, it is just faster for simpler operations. Maybe it isn't.

Will.
