thanks for the link i have actually seen it quite a few times - though i 
have not followed the discussions on the mysql mailing lists - their 
position (unless it has changed of late) is that if you make a 
commercial product that stores data in a mysql db you have to pay them 
licensing fees - this is what a mysql sales rep told me.
