Can you clarify your views? As far as I know, there are NO ROYALTIES for
use or redistribution of MySQL runtime on Windows (and on any other
platform). That's what the GPL licensing of MySQL guaranties... FREE
REDISTRIBUTION (amongst other things)...

Point your browser to : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#win32
Or a direct link from one (the closest to me) of the redistribution
mirros :
ftp://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-essential-5.1.34-win32.msi
(and if you feel like bleeding edge, pick one from the
/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-6.0 directory)

Seriously... no royalties there... even for redistribution. This
software is licensed under the GPL v2.
