I agree, Stephane.  Since I assume IBM doesn't plan on putting OS/400 under
GPL, that means they would have to license MySQL to include it.  If I used
it in a commercial product, I would also have to license it.  No big deal,
and the license is not particularly expensive, but while MySQL may not be
"commercial" it's also not "free".

It's all about terminology <smile>.
