[DUG] MySQL Licencing

[Colin Fraser]

I know you mentioned you didn't want a db vs db discussion... does that
include MariaDB which is supposed to be a drop in replacement for MySQL?

Have not used either, just heard recently about the "drop in" MySQL
replacement.

(Sorry for mentioning it if you already know and didn't want the discussion
:-))

Regards
Colin
