Hi Francis Thanks for the reply. But can we distribute My SQL setup with our application setup? My understanding is no we cant. I already went through few through links but just more confusing.

Yes. You can use the same for commercial application too. GPL grants to run the products for commercial too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License
