| Sep 16, 2016 at 20:05 | comment | added | nomadictype | @ShayBrynes Sorry for the late reply. I've now added the information about the licenses of the various connectors to the answer. That and a paragraph about whether a GPL server implies that the client needs to be GPL as well. | |

Incorporated info from comments; added paragraph about client license

| Sep 8, 2016 at 8:23 | comment | added | Shay Brynes | The first one is not compatible with Python 3.4 (sorry for not specifying), so it looks like the best option is the second. Thanks for your help. | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 10:59 | comment | added | nomadictype | There's also PyMySQL (github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL) which is MIT. Have not used that one yet. | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 10:53 | comment | added | nomadictype | Oh, sorry, did not catch that you were using MySQL Connector/Python. That one is indeed GPL (unless you purchase a commercial license). I was referring to sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python. Dual-licensing means that you can choose which of the licenses you prefer, and use the software under that license. | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 9:56 | comment | added | Shay Brynes | Also (sorry it wasn't in one comment), I'm not sure which connector you are looking at, but on the MySQL Webpage:link it states MySQL open source software is provided under the GPL License. OEMs, ISVs and VARs can purchase commercial licenses. If you are referring to a different connector, could you send a link | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 9:54 | comment | added | Shay Brynes | Hey, Thanks for the answer. However, I am still confused about something, could you clarify this for me: If it says "GPL or ...." does GPL not take precedence, implying that the code written IS copyleft, and use would require me to use a GPL license. | |
