Re: MySQL for win32

I know that...but I have MySQL 3.23.21 beta and yet the docs STILL SAY that it costs money (for non educational/government research) Straight from the manual: For use under Microsoft operating systems (Win95/Win98/WinNT), you need a MySQL license after a trial period of 30 days, with the exception that licenses may be obtained upon request at no cost for educational use or for university- or government-sponsored research settings. See section K The MySQL license for Microsoft operating systems. A shareware version of MySQL-Win32 that you can try before buying is available at http://www.mysql.com/mysql_w32.htmy. After you have paid, you will get a password that will enable you to access the newest MySQL-Win32 version. Now, is it possible that the manual is out dated and the product really is GPL or does the GPL only affect non windows versions? -Jobarr Daniel Beulshausen wrote: > the gpl only affects newer releases of mysql (3.23.19+) older ones > aren't gpl'ed.
