See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/ndbcluster.html Yes it's part of 4.19, but if your software is not licenced under the GPL you must buy a licence for the MySql servers ($595/server), and another licence for MySql Cluster($5,000/CPU). So if you you have three servers with dual cpus you would owe MySql $31,785. The licencing applies to any situation where you are running the database on more that one server, even if it is a web application. I spent quite a bit of time working with a MySql representative trying to clear this out a while back, and called them back to confirm today. Here is the name of the Mysql rep. that I spoke to: Rena Dosono Inside Sales Executive MySQL, Inc. www.mysql.com Tel: 206-824-4356 Email: [email protected] I'm sure all your code is GPL and is available in source for download :) --Nick On Thu, 3 Feb 2005 09:31:53 +0000, Matthew Seaman <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 02, 2005 at 01:46:22PM -0700, Nick Pavlica wrote: > > > MySql 4.1 has been the production release since 4.1.7 and are > > currently at the 4.1.9 release.
