Many federal agencies are unknowingly out of compliance with Oracle’s MySQL licensing policy, often by running MySQL Enterprise Edition in production while using MySQL Community Edition in development, testing, or QA environments for the same application. This violates licensing terms and can expose agencies to audit risk, surprise costs, and operational inconsistency.

Our experts will walk you through Oracle’s licensing rules in plain terms, share real-world examples of common violations, and explain how standardizing on MySQL Enterprise Edition helps agencies ensure compliance, reduce risk, and streamline support.
