A short time ago I found this very well done podcast: Hanselminutes by Scott Hanselman. In one of the latest episodes he was talking to Jonathan Zuck of ACT Online about Software Licensing. It’s great to get a quick overview about existing licenses and how to best use them. Since this is a huge topic you only get a short overview, but very understandable imho!
Especially interesting was what Jonathan said about the MySQL licensing model, which I had not properly understood all the way until now neither :-). He said since MySQL owns the rights of the software they can decide what license to sell a software under to a customer and

relief them of the burden of a GPL based license, by simply selling it to them commercially.

(starts at 27:30). That’s pretty well explained I think. It makes all this licensing stuff much simpler in my eyes.
Thanks Scott for your great podcasts!
