Because you need to release your source code under the gpl, or buy a commercial license. You can use MySql for web apps as they are not distributed and thus don't need to be released under the gpl. I think, IANAL and I avoid the gpl like the plague. Regards Sean Cross CIO Catalyst Risk

Re: [DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

Here is a question.. Can C# compile into native code? or is it .Net only? MS .net is managed code only. Mono can do ahead of time compilation producing native code (that's how they do iPhone apps) and has a linker to reduce exe size. I don't know how well it all works though. Sean

Re: [DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

Mono supports aot, which is compiling into native code. This is what they do for the iPhone, compile .net to native. The iPhone constraints include jitting, hence the need for compiling to native code. Regards   Sean Cross CIO   Catalyst Risk Management PO Box 230 Napier 4140 DDI: 06-8340362

Re: [DUG] Web development

I am surprised no-one has mentioned Python + a framework such as Django. When I switched to web dev, Python/Django and C#/asp.net mvc were the 2 finalists. I went with C# simply due to the ease of getting developers. Don't use Delphi, it's entirely the wrong tool. Sean
