Re:Sun Buys MySQL by cperciva on Wednesday January 16, 2008 @11:34AM (#99311)
MySQL is available under the GPL, but MySQL AB has a history of misleading people about what the GPL license means, in order to convince people to pay for commercial licenses which they don't need.

That's what I meant by "sort-of" -- MySQL is GPLed, but where potential customers are concerned, they try really hard to make sure that people won't take advantage of that fact.
