If the MySQL engine links to InnoDB, then MySQL must either be being used under the GPL, or it must have a valid commericial license to InnoDB.
If InnoDB was LGPL, it would be different. But it's not.
Any InnoDB fork done without Oracle's permission must be done under the GPL. - Posted by: Erik1234 Posted on: 10/14/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
