I wrongly was under the impression that using RB and REAL's plugin would not make me deal with MySQL AB's licensing drama, and together with a simpler installation and maintenance procedure, this was my argument to use MySQL.
Before the new GPL plugin, that was true, wasn't it? I seem to recall that the old version of the plugin was independently developed, and that was the reason it didn't support all features (like the latest password encryption), but you didn't have to deal with the GPL.
Which brings me to this: if someone reverse engineered the protocol being sent via TCP/IP and wrote an independent plugin, wouldn't that also eliminate these headaches?
