Q6: What is Sun's commercial license for MySQL software?
A: Sun offers a commercial license for all of its MySQL software that is embedded in or bundled with another application. The commercial license allows OEMs, ISVs and VARs to distribute commercial binaries of MySQL software with their own commercial software without subjecting that software to the GPL and its requirement to distribute source code.

Ben y'a des applis proprios qui utilisent MySQL en interne (inclus dans leur code) car ils ont acheté une licence proprio qui permet ça.
