Despite the FUD, it's actually very simple: MySQL is provided to you
without restrictions. If you use it to create software that is
likewise without restrictions, great. However, if you use it to create
software that imposes restrictions that you were not subjected to, you
have to buy a license.

I know that, like Ted said, that this is troll bait, and so I'm not
going to respond to this. But for the sake of others out there who
might swallow such BS, just imagine if VFP were an open source
product: it would be running on all platforms, active development
would still be going on, and there would be no chant of "Fox is dead"
going on. Sure, not all of us could mess with the source code
directly, but do you doubt that smart guys like Christof Wollenhaupt
or others would have problems with it? Do you believe for a second
that VFP wouldn't be infinitely better off if it were open source, or
that your VFP development opportunities would be?
