You keep saying this, but I don't think you really understand what the license supports and doesn't support. The Open Source License clearly allows PHP developers (for example) who use MySQL to freely use MySQL as long as their own software is also under the GPL (or a compatible license). There is no charge as long as the application is under the GPL and the source is freely distributed, including a commercial application. RT (http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/) is a good example of a commercial application which is freely redistributable; they make their money on support and customization. Thus, they can require MySQL without needing to pay for a commercial license. Part of the cost of WebCatalog is that SMSI has paid for a Commercial License to MySQL, which allows them to distribute WebDNA with MySQL support. There is no additional cost to us if we we use MySQL in our own proprietary products using WebDNA, since the MySQL license is paid for as part of the license for WebCatalog.
