Licenza del DBMS MySQL

M.O.N.K. - licenze d'uso
Licenza del DBMS MySQL

Usualmente, l'uso di MySQL per Windows non è gratuito; visto però che il programma M.O.N.K. ha finalità accademiche e non commericiali, la TCX DataKonsult ha concesso alla biblioteca di S. Giustina una licenza speciale a costo zero.
Qui sotto è riportato il testo dell'e-mail con la quale la TCX concede la licenza.
