I thought that wasn't enough yet. Some confusion about weather selling a 
  collection that included the encoder/decoder could be considered a 
commercila use. If not then the players/ripper just need a new license.

Any pointers on that? I don't uses PHP at all, but would like the newer 
MySQL for linux. New to databases, but the MySQL option to buy a license 
for commercial use is nice. If someone (my employer?) wanted to sell 
something I developed, a commercial license could be aquired, without 
having to rewrite anything. MySQL 4 has a few new features I'm 
interested in.
