Re: Commercial Java program bundled with 'free' database?

Thank you, everyone, for the advice and input. You are correct, I may
need to talk with a legal expert before I continue on with this
project. Also, I'll check out those freely distributable databases and
also look into the Community Edition of MySQL.

Again, thank you all very much for your help!

Hi! I am writing a program for a client and I'm using several database
files that I created with MySQL (inventory, customer, etc). I'm not
sure if I can freely bundle these database files with my program when I
distribute it to my customer so I have a question:

Does there exist something like MySQL that I can use to create files
with and distribute with programs that I write without having to pay
licensing fees?

Thanks, all!
