I stopped using PDFLib for a similar reason. Their license (Aladdin Public License) stated that use was beyond the scope of the license, but their web site asked for a fee for any "commercial use" and their interpretation seemed to include many in-house uses. I am in the process, among other things, of finalizing the business plan for a consulting firm I will be starting based on open source solutions. Our choice of products to support has a lot to do with these sorts of issues. Needless to say, PostgreSQL gets our vote :-) Part of the issue is avoiding litigation. If MySQL AB starts to run out of funds, I don't want to see another fiaSCO emerge... If they are not trustworthy, or seem to be pushing the limits of a license, then they are not worth doing business with. Best Wishes, Chris Travers
