Re: Oracle tried to buy open-source MySQL

MySQL AB release MySQL under two licenses. One open-source (GPL) and one commercial license. I doubt they will change this licensing model.

Re: Oracle tried to buy open-source MySQL

They reqsuest you to buy a license when you want to include their software package with an application you distribute wink Else it's completely free, no matter how big your company is.
