Firstly, Its dual licensed, one of which is based on the OEM model and
the other is GPL. I donot see this as a fair deal since it takes away
the freedom to use the software for commercial purposes (note
commercial use, not commercialisation of the software itself). How can
a person who is _not_ a student / non-profit / research person use
mSQL. Is the user allowed to apply the GPL to it? Im not very clear.
