True.
Because backups aren't an important mission critical portion of database work.
I mean they could have closed off access to something really important.

The Commercial License is an agreement with MySQL AB for organizations that do not want to release their application source code. Commercially licensed customers get a commercially supported product with assurances from MySQL. Commercially licensed users are also free from the requirement of making their own application open source.
When your application is not licensed under either the GPL-compatible Free Software License as defined by the Free Software Foundation or approved by OSI, and you intend to or you may distribute MySQL software, you must first obtain a commercial license to the MySQL product.
Typical examples of MySQL distribution include:
*
Selling software that includes MySQL to customers who install the software on their own machines.
*
Selling software that requires customers to install MySQL themselves on their own machines.
*
Building a hardware system that includes MySQL and selling that hardware system to customers for installation at their own locations.
Specifically:
*
If you include the MySQL server with an application that is not licensed under the GPL or GPL-compatible license, you need a commercial license for the MySQL server.
*
If you develop and distribute a commercial application and as part of utilizing your application, the end-user must download a copy of MySQL; for each derivative work, you (or, in some cases, your end-user) need a commercial license for the MySQL server and/or MySQL client libraries.
*
If you include one or more of the MySQL drivers in your non-GPL application (so that your application can run with MySQL), you need a commercial license for the driver(s) in question. The MySQL drivers currently include an ODBC driver, a JDBC driver and the C language library.
*
GPL users have no direct legal relationship with MySQL AB. The commercial license, on the other hand, is MySQL AB's private license, and provides a direct legal relationship with MySQL AB.
With a commercial non-GPL MySQL server license, one license is required per database server (single installed MySQL binary). There are no restrictions on the number of connections, number of CPUs, memory or disks to that one MySQL database server. The MaxDB server is licensed per CPU or named user.
Running them under a VM or under Citrix is still running them under windows. I was told I could do it all under Linux.
And I don't do console games.
You don't have an answer.
The sound chip built into my DG33TL motherboard supports Dolby Digital so I do not think that is correct. I have also been told that Dolby doesn't license its technology on an exclusive basis.
Please make two lists.
1: List of platforms that Microsoft restricts who can program for.
2: List of platforms that apple restricts who can program for.

Should you lose your liquor license for 5 years the first time you violate one of the alcohol related laws in your state?
True. Because when one thinks of GTA the first thing that pops into mind is realism.

Do they still insist that simply connecting to the server process requires a commercial license if you aren't GPL?
I will buy locally when the local shops stop charging 25% to 60% more for the same identical item. Till then newegg is my friend.
How do you think the /. editors received access to the closed beta? They traded access for stories like this.

Really? How do I run Office 2007 and VS 2008 under Linux? What about current and next gen games? How do I get those to work?
Now that is funny.
UAC requires a password under Vista is one is using a not administrative account.
It runs rather fine on my dual core Pentium @ 1.6Ghz.
What issues does Vista have after SP1?
Well the opensource would was unable to come up with a better product so Microsoft had to.
