MySQL
is a software SQL database management system (English: database management
system) or DBMS multithreaded, multi-user, with about 6 million installations
worldwide. MySQL AB makes MySQL available as free software under the GNU
General Public License (GPL), but they are also sold under a commercial license
for those cases where its use is not compatible with the GPL.
Not the same with projects like Apache, where the software was developed by the general community, and the rights to the source code are owned by their respective authors, MySQL is owned and sponsored by a Swedish commercial company MySQL AB, which holds the copyright to all the code almost the source. Both the Swedes and the Finns who founded MySQL AB are: David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius.
