If the changes in the MySQL licensing have your head spinning, and you're not sure what's what, then this new FAQ might help to clear the air.

If you are an independent software vendor who develops and distributes software made with PHP and MySQL, Zak Greant's answers on The Top Seven MySQL Licensing Questions will be worth a read. This article aims to clearly answer seven of the most common questions asked by PHP users about MySQL's licensing. For each question, this article attempts to provide a simple and direct answer that focuses on the intent of the question, rather than its literal meaning. Additionally, for each question and answer, there is also a more detailed and technical supporting discussion.

It's a nice little read, even for those that aren't very familiar with MySQL and just want to ensure they're not violating the license.
