Sorry to add to the noise, but I feel the need to add: On the next version of NetWare (6.5), there will be a commercially-licensed copy of MySQL that an application can use without the restrictions John listed. In case that helps anybody decide for or against using it.

If you use MySQL in a commercial setting, internal or external, without purchasing a commercial license, you may do so only if the application that uses MySQL is also GPL (http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html). This is something that many companies (and developers) would prefer to avoid, for various reasons. PostgreSQL has no such requirement as it is distributed under the BSD license.
