Ok, I see MySQL has gotten somewhat unclear in its licensing agreement. Looks like the choice should be between PostgreSQL & Firebird. I'm looking for a backend w/o licensing restrictions that I can use from VFP and .net. The 2g limit in VFP is chafing my current project. Linux hosted langs won't figure into my scheme of things for some time yet.

Local, deployed, hosted? Hosted on which OS? Packaged, custom? VFP, Perl, Python, Ruby to access? Each has mostly standard SQL like VFP, more standard than Oracle. Triggers and Stored Procs and RI are different than VFP, as they are in every product. Both are powerful DBMSes. More 3rd party support for MySQL. More license questions, too. Why just those two?
