Can I use Mysql for a commercial web application for free?

Question

I developed a web application using Mysql. I will sell it to individual bodies, such as schools, hospitals, etc., Thus, having a server for each buyer.

This is a Php-based application that uses Mysql to manage a database.

Do I need a commercial Mysql license for this use? I will not provide the source of the application to the buyer and I will support the application myself.

thanks

Answer 1

Check http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/ . It provides terms of use for MySQL.

Answer 2

We are not lawyers, but millions of people use the version of the MySQL community on commercial sites, so the answer is most likely yes. I don’t understand why the problem would arise if you didn’t sell the technology based directly on MySQL, that is, the processing of the MySQL project (for example, "MySQL ++").

Answer 3

From what I heard, if you plan to sell your webapp (for example, a regular application hosted by your clients, etc.), then you cannot go with free mysql. You cannot associate it with your own software. But then again, we are not lawyers.
