[CS-FSLUG] OfB.biz: The MySQL License Question

[Timothy R. Butler]

MySQL AB's namesake database is a package that many would list among 
the crown jewels of Free Software. The Swedish company's database has 
been deployed over five million times by the company's own count. Yet, 
some, quite legitimately wondered if certain wording on the MySQL site 
might indicate the company is backing away from Free Software, and, 
more specifically, the GNU General Public License. OfB wanted to know 
if this was an actual concern or simply a misunderstanding, so Timothy 
R. Butler contacted MySQL AB to find out more information.
