Hi

Wenn das so wäre, müssten sich ja Firmen, die ganze Jahresgehälter für die Entwicklung von PERL Scripts ausgeben, veranlasst sehen, diese Scripts öffentlich zu machen.

Oder hab'ch da was falsch verstanden?

Schau dir halt mal die Beispiele an, die man bei der MySQL-Homepage dazu finden kann:
http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing/commercial-license.html

"The Commercial License is an agreement with MySQL AB for organizations that do not want to release their application source code. Commercially licensed customers get a commercially supported product with assurances from MySQL. Commercially licensed users are also free from the requirement of making their own application open source.

When your application is not licensed under either the GPL-compatible Free Software License as defined by the Free Software Foundation or approved by OSI, and you intend to distribute MySQL software (be that externally to customers or internally within your organization), you must first obtain a commercial license to the MySQL product."

Und weiter:

"If you are a private individual you are free to use MySQL software for your personal applications as long as you do not distribute them. If you distribute them, you must make a decision between the Commercial License and the GPL.

Please note that even if you ship a free demo version of your own application, the above rules apply."

In dem Fall deiner Firma gilt wohl auch dieses Beispiel für den Zwang zur kommerz. Lizenz:
"If you distribute MySQL Software within your organization, you should purchase a commercial license."

Ciao,
