Not all interpretations are equal here, at least if you are avoiding being sued by mySQL ;-) I would completely ignore anything you read on wikipedia. There used to be an FAQ on the mySQL website. You can always simply call them and ask. That's a better way to go if you are actually shipping something and want to avoid mySQL AB's wrath. When we designed the EULA for Valentina, we took a careful look at the mySQL EULA to see what is wrong with it.
