Yes I know Google is my friend.
But Oracle ain't honestly the page I got with some Googling was stuffed with licensing for web data not MySQL!!!!
So I need to know if this is allowed:
A downloaded game (C++). The MySQL part is all SSI and handles the logins and such.
I'm not packaging MySQL with the game just using it on the server.

Thanks in advanced bbqRoast
Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).

You can use MySQL pretty much wherever/however you want, with no licensing.

If you are somehow tightly integrating MySQL into your project (not just letting it stand out there by itself), that's another matter. Mixing your source code with MySQL source code is the only time I can see you having an issue, and that would not be a normal usage of MySQL.

MySQL is under the GPL. You can redistribute it as you want, as long as you redistribute it under the GPL. Not sure what you're asking here.
Programming is a journey, not a destination.
