RDBMS are a commonplace in today's large scale corporations. Most companies rely on commercial RDBMS like Oracle. But the days are over when having a strong, secure, fast and stable RDBMS was only in the hands of huge companies. Since MySQL is an open source software application, its use within the terms of GPL is free. A moderate license fee of $495 is there for using MySQL on commercial systems outside the scope of GPL license terms and conditions. However, paying such a low fee for a fully mature database management system can be counted as a gesture of goodwill on your behalf. Other commercial solutions costs in thousands of dollars as compared to MySQL. |
