I wish to distribute mysql connector with my commercial application which uses nhibernate to target multiple Data base types and mysql happens to be one of them. I want to give my clinets the choice of DB they wish to use at install time. I do not want to put them in the hassel of downloading the connector themselves and copying it to software installation directory.So, it would be more comfortable for me to package the mysql connector along with the application. Since my application dose not depends on mysql in two ways: a) My app targets multiple DBs and it will run with or without mysql connector, b) My app talks to mysql connector through NHibernate which is distributed under LGPL. So kindly advice if one of these reasons is good enough to distribute mysql connector without paying for license. Also, I read on some forum that if I sign up with mysql or oracle I can distribute the connector with my commercial aplication freely, please advice if it's correct since I have already signed up with you, otherwise I will not be able to post this message.
