Re: [gentoo-dev] mysql commercial

[Steve Rodgers <steve.rodgers@ts-a.com>]

so unless it's of real use to others I might just continue to support it myself.
I'm already packaging up other internal apps using a portage overlay.

FYI - if you deploy an app which is non-gpl which links against mysql libs then
you need to deploy against a commercial version of mysql.
this is built and maintained in binary format by mysql - and requires 
username/password to download.

there are various packages - rpms and tarballs available.

for commercial apps using the mysql c api you must use commercial mysql - if you
use e.g. php then that's ok as there is a php clause in the license.
