Hmmm. Now it's clear as mud. Section 3.4.4 says if I am running MySQL
with a web server, no license fee. But 3.4.3 says if I charge for install
I need a license. Section 3.4.1 says if I write a product with generic
DB hooks, I don't need a license. But 3.4.2 says if money changes hands,
I need a license.

I guess if I were using MySQL the safe route would be to get a $200.US
license. But why when Postgresql is free?
Is anyone doing any commercial apps using MySQL?
