Hi!
I sent this question to the mysql license email, but it's been more than
3 days since then and I haven't received a answer... So I will ask it
again here, to see if someone can clarify this issue.
We are small hardware store. We have developed our own POS software to
fill our necessities for our 12 stores. We developed our software using
MySQL and Java, and they run on Linux. Our POS can run any other DB, but
we really like MySQL. The thing is, we cannot afford paying a MySQL
licence (every single pos we want to implement in the coming months will
have to use a copy of mysql db installed) for every single POS we
implement. As I had understood your license, we can apply for a GPL
MySQL since our pos software:
.- It's not for sell, we do no distribute to 3rd parties, our pos is
only for internal use. We are using the MySQL that shipped with our
linux distro.
.- Our software can use other db's , we just use MySQL because it is
really good and our choice, but we can use any other jdbc compliant db.
Am i right ?? We would like to apply for a paid support in the future,
but we cannot afford a MySQL license for each POS we implement.
We haven't infringed in any legal aspect, since we have only used mysql
for development, we still have not deployed, am i right?
Would you be so kind, and explain to me, the details in this case?
Thanxs! =)
