title: Commercial license for MariaDB
body: <p>I'm currently working on a closed-source commercial web-project which uses <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MariaDB" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MariaDB</a> as the database. I wonder about the licensing of MariaDB. Do we have to get a license to use it with our commercial project? On the website, they mention the &quot;GNU General Public License, version 2&quot;. What exactly does that mean?</p>
