Actually, I am trying to address the problem of having to buy a $200 MySQL license for every $50 software product I sell. If you have a solution for this problem I would like to know what it is. This is a licensing issue that I haven't found a good solution for.

Well, then I would buy a $50.00 product using MySQL, and then your $5000.00 product. Oh, and subtract the $500.00 license fee. I already have a license.
I prefer to pay a flat fee for each license, not a fee based on the price of your software.

Hello David,
Since you were kind enough to clarify some matters on licensing I was hoping you would also be open to suggestions. Instead of charging a flat fee for each copy of MySQL that is resold why not charge a percentage up to a certain point. It might make it a bit easier for developers with inexpensive applications to choose your product. If I know that MySQL is going to be, for example, a constant ten percent of my sale cost I can price more competitively for the market. The is defiantly a boon for developers who are selling applications for the forty to sixty dollar market. As they say, ten percent of something is more than ten percent of nothing.
If this pricing scheme will not work for MySQL can you please explain why? I am genuinely curious.
