Scenario: you write a spiffy app that goes out to hundreds of non-profit clients, and you charge them a nominal fee for it and for support. If it relies on MySQL for a backend server, are you responsible for getting a commercial license or are the clients who run and maintain it? And given that the clients are non-profits who may be entitled to a free commercial license, would it not be counterintuitive for the developer to pay for a commercial license rather than telling the clients to get their own? -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
