Someone mentioned to me that the MySQL licencing has changed. I see 'or from what I understand' that if it is used in a software you now need a licence for it's use, but what happens when it is used for a database web site along with php, does the developer now need to get a licence in able to sell the web database application 'dynamic web site' to a client?
Thanks
MySQL Licencing?

I think you only have to pay for it if it's used in commercial software - so, if you start selling a CMS that uses MySQL and you bundle MySQL/install MySQL in the CMS, then you have to pay for licensing. If you're just using it to power a website, it's still free.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
