Can I host WordPress in the MySQL community in a commercial environment?

It really is a licensing issue after purchasing in MySQL.

My company, which is a commercial company and a service provider, plans to host a blog site in our domain for marketing purposes. Our first choice is WordPress, which recommends using the MySQL backend. My question for you is as a commercial company, we can host our own instance of WordPress, supported by MySQL Community Edition, which is licensed by the GPL. Here are some points that can clarify the situation ...

  • We are a commercial company.
  • Blogs will be provided free of charge, and we will not receive direct income from them.
  • We will post an instance of WordPress / MySQL directly on our website, and not just subscribe to the hosted service.
  • We do not plan to change the WordPress or MySQL code and plan to use both options.

Moderators, please feel free to move this question to any forum that you think would be more appropriate.

Thanks in advance for any help, Jeremy

According to the MySQL website:

"OEMs, ISVs, and VARs may purchase commercial licenses."

Until you use it for your ISV projects, you can use the community edition. However, it is best to contact the MySQL licensing team to get the most respected answer: http://forums.mysql.com/list.php?4
