When we spoke with MySQL a while back, I believe that you only have to pay the licensing fee if you BUNDLE mysql with your product. That is, if you ship a product and mysql is inside of it, then you pay. If you install MySQL separately, then you don't. I even specifically asked them about this because it sounded very weird, phrasing it like I have in the previous sentence, and they agreed. It's possible the licensing has changed since then (this was I believe in late 2005), but I doubt it. So given that, most people aren't selling WO product bundles, and if they are they probably are not INCLUDING mysql in it, so it's unlikely that pricing actually affects WO people.

Thanks for pointing out. I overlooked this as costing for commercial is always part of concerns.

To share a bit, these are some info I am able to dig out from MySQL support team email:

One commercial license is required for each server.
For MySQL Classic, each commercial license cost US$395
For MySQL Pro, each commercial license costs US$695
Cheers

The community edition is free, and you get InnoDB and MyISAM with it. Basically the community edition lags a few dot releases behind the enterprise edition but is more or less the same product.

Some may not aware that MYSQL is not free! The pricing for InnoDB and MyISAM are different, being InnoDB is slightly more expensive.
