This is a Much better deal than Openbase, 4D or Oracle licensing who all charge by clients (5 user, 10 user, 20 user etc..), and are often based on subscription (annual payments). It is on par with Valentina pricing in my opinion in terms of features per dollar. The only better offer out there is postgreSQL, and while I agree it is powerful and progressing very quickly, it is not a reliable enough base for me to work from just yet. So I choose MySQL.
But it is not on par with Valentina on licensing - where the licensing hurts most with mySQL. We specifically designed the Valentina license to be competitive with mySQL. You can distribute Valentina Embedded Server in its default mode royalty free and in unlimited quantities. Connections are not named. There are enough connections there to serve the SMB marketplace and not have to pay any more. Plus, there is an "infinite" version of Embedded Server that is on a per deployment basis.
