Monty claims commercial MySQL license is too restrictive
,----[ Quote ]
| Monty Widenius, founder of MySQL, has said in a blog posting â "Thoughts on
| Dual-Licensing Open Source Software" â that he recently became aware that Sun
| Microsystem's OEM licence agreement for MySQL would restrict users who had
| signed up for the commercial licence to the open source database from
| modifying MySQL or using any forks of MySQL. According to Widenius "The basic
| idea for our dual-licensing was this: if you bought a license then we waived
| the GPL restriction that you have to redistribute your code as GPL" and that
| the current version of the OEM licence goes against that principle to the
| detriment of customers.

| Dr. Dobb's: What's MariaDB?
|
| Widenius: It's a community developed branch of MySQL with bug fixes and new
| features developed by the MariaDB community, of which Monty Program Ab is an
| active member. We will keep MariaDB in sync with MySQL development to ensure
| all bug fixes and features in MySQL also exists in MariaDB. At this time
| MariaDB 5.1 should be notable faster, have more features and have fewer bugs
| than the corresponding MySQL 5.1 release.

Thoughts about Dual-licensing Open Source software
,----[ Quote ]
| Note that releasing your code as BSD for a project that has or may have GPL
| code doesn't protect your code from being dual-licensed in an unfavorable
| way. The only way to ensure full freedom for others is to only donate your
| code under a contributor agreement with a clause as suggested below or to a
| project that has agreeable guidelines for how they license their code!
|
| To assure our users, contributors, and customers of how we at Monty Program
| Ab intend to re-license the code we produce or the code people donate to us,
| I have added the following note to our contributor agreement:
|
| "Monty Program Ab agrees that when it dual licenses code, it will not
| restrict the way the third party licensee uses the licensed copy of the code
| nor restrict how they use their own code."
