Hm... not necessarily... they actually offer commercial DB as well. You can perfectly well BUY mysql. So it is not that simple as it seems on the first glance. I cannot imagine all their libs are GPL as that would mean that no commercial package may link against them without letting the GPL virus inside... > > If this is for a product you're shipping you might want to investigate > further. If this is for your website it doesn't matter. It is actually for interfacing to an existing mysql instance that we do not "own" or deliver. We just need to attach there and do some data-mining. > > If you import it, can you call it nsdbmysql, for consistency? Of course.
