MySQL Licensing Survey

MySQL AB is always interested in getting feedback from customers and the open source community on the best way to communicate our licensing policy. In order to continue to gather input, we have a short five question survey.

1. What do you think of MySQL's dual license policy and Quid Pro Quo business principle?

2. What do you think of the GPL license which MySQL uses as the basis for its open source licensing?

3. MySQL published an exception to the GPL so that our client library license would be compatible with the open source license used for PHP. How do you think MySQL should license its client libraries?

Client libraries should be free for open source development
Client libraries should be free for commercial development
Client libraries should be licensed consistent with the database server
MySQL should provide software ISVs with authenticated client libraries
Don't know or don't care

4. How do you use or plan on using MySQL?

To develop other open source projects or applications
For corporate applications
For web-based or hosted applications
For consulting projects
For personal education and experimentation

5. What best describes your role?

6. Any additional comments or suggestions?
