I think that the license scheme is very simple reading gnu faq:
If you distribute your software under GPL you and your customer don't need a commercial license but the user can change your code and give it away with a GPL license.
In every other case you need a commercial license.
The point of GPL are:
- full source of all the code
- every work "derived" from the original must be distributed under gpl
- right to modify and distribute all the software (with gpl).
So you can not distribute any software that requires MySql (or other gpl source code) without a GPL license.
Now a question:
Where is the text of commercial license; I have one trouble:
Can I buy a license (1 for each server) and sell my application to a reseller that will sell my application, hardware and technical support to the real customer?
Hi Santino,
Good question! I don't usually deal with the details of the proprietary MySQL licensing, but I would guess that as long as a MySQL server has a valid license, we don't care how it gets to then end user.
I can put you in touch with one of our sales team members to get you more information.
