yes,it's limited but simple. I just hope that MySQL AB doesn't proprietarise MySQL. But from that thread on debian-legal, i think MySQL doesn't really understand Free Software or the GPL propery.
MySQL only became popular because it's faster than postgresql for less complex database work. Postgresql is a better database. I just wonder why SCO went for a deal with MySQL instead of just taking the BSD-licensed Postgres. (I would use postgres myself if my webhost and CMS supported it)
Well, computers could be useful if there was electricity to run them. Then you might consider giving them telephone lines for internet.
Of course, a lot of African people do have access to technology, and many probably already use Linux. Ubuntu came from Africa, so some people out there know about computers and realize how important computers and Free Software are.
Free software is already available, but without computers they are useless. And when dirty water and HIV/AIDS are killing so many people, computers are useless because there's no one to operate them.

Also, mySQL has a totally wrong view of the GPL: see this discussion on debian-legal.

And now we have BitTorrent! It doesn't really matter what the labels do, P2P won't go away.
Yes, could allow computing without power. Another possibility is solar powered PCs. Then make them really really cheap, and put Linux on.

It may imply a GNU userland, it doesn't give any recognition to GNU though.
If you acknowledge that the GNU project wrote more of your 'Linux' distro than Linus did, it's GLAMP.
So who funded this study? -- Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/
