I can have just about as many MYSQL databases as I'd ever want with my $20/month code monster account. (They also have a $10/plan) It's really fast and they plan to upgrade to 5.xx this fall!
I don't give a %$#%$# about lawyers or licensing or whatever because they have a site license or something at my ISP...and the setup for a new database takes about 5 minutes...and I don't have to get my hands dirty.
It feels like it's almost free this way! So what's the problem?

In this discussion, it's important not to lose sight of Chipp Walters' early comment that MySQL is NOT free for commercial use. I was always under the impression that it was but when Chipp raised that with me about 18 months ago and I went to the MySQL folks to investigate, I found a dismayingly confusing plethora of license terms and warnings that frankly scared me away from using the product.

At the end of the day, and in keeping with my desire to stay out of courtrooms, I decided not to use MySQL in any situation where there might ever be a doubt about the licensing issue. That essentially means I don't use MySQL unless I'm designing an app I'm willing to distribute free as open source.
