      flex-resp sounds great....till it's abused :)

    Great idea! Neat. Regarding the use of MysSQl in any OpenBSD or other projects, have you folks noticed any problems with the license scheme? Last time I did ask I've got a feedback like Mysql is in murky waters and that to play safe postgress was a safer bet. I know they offer the free and the commercial version (oh, check theri prices too), but how free was the free version of mysql in terms of can and can't do?

      Postgresql is bsd licensed. Mysql is dual licensed. If you use it for commercial purposes you are suppose to pay for it. However, they release it under the GPL as well. In theory once it's gpl'ed it's gpl'ed. I was told that the GPL encourages dual licensing. That seems contrary to the goals of the FSF. In any case use postgresql to be safe. Plus postgresql has: acid compliance, transactions, subselects, stored procedures and more. Mysql is a piece of junk that all the people pushing LAMP love for whatever reason. Mysql is not good for data...it's good for the same things php is good for: really simple and small sites.

        Then you got some awfully bad info somewhere. Don't spread rumors around.

    i386 only, or is there Sparc platform support, too?
