So if I write my application in python, say, and only relase the .pyc
files, I'm not linked to mysql, but I use it via the API provided by
the python runtime. The GPL does not require me to release the source
code to my application, yet I'm using mysql in a commercial setting.
I believe that mysql will demand a license fee from me in this
situation.
It is very murky with mysql.
