Chapter 1: General Information 1 1 General Information The MySQL (TM) software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server is intended for mission- critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed soft- ware. MySQL is a trademark of MySQL AB. The MySQL software has Dual Licensing, which means you can use the MySQL software free of charge under the GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/). You can also purchase commercial MySQL licenses from MySQL AB if you do not wish to be bound by the terms of the GPL. See Section 1.4 [Licensing and Support], page 15.
