=== La licence MySQL ===
 
MySQL est disponible sous un schéma double licence :
MySQL is available under a ''dual-licensing'' scheme:
* Under{{w|Licence thepublique générale GNU General Public License,}} version 2, ("or later" allowed in versions released before 2007): this is a Free (as in freedom)copyleft, copyleft software license that allows you topermettant used'utiliser MySQL forà commercialdes andfins non-commercialcommerciales purposesou in your applicationpas, astant long as yourque l'application isest releasedà underla the GNUmême GPLlicence. There is also a "FLOSS Exception" which essentially allows non-GPL'd but Free applications (such as the PHP programming language, under the PHP license) to connect to a MySQL server. The exception lists a set of free and open-source software license that can be used in addition to the GNU GPL for your MySQL-dependent Free application.
* A so-called "commercial" <ref>Calling it "commercial" is misleading, because the GNU GPL can be used in commercial (but non-proprietary) projects.</ref>, paid license, that is, a license where MySQL grants you the right to integrate MySQL with a non-FLOSS application that you are redistributing outside your own organization. <ref>Proprietary projects still can connect to a MySQL server without purchasing this license by using old versions of the MySQL client connection libraries (under the GNU Lesser General Public License). However, these libraries cannot connect to the newest versions of the MySQL server.</ref>
