[ale] First Steps to Licensing My Software?

[James Taylor]

You can buy a commercial license of MySQL from Sun so that you can distribute your code commercially, but I'm pretty sure PHP will not give you that option.  Of course PHP isn't really something I would think you try to license anyway.  It's plain-text scripting, right?

Hi All,

I'm a PHP Web developer and I'm working on a web application used in the
medical industry.  I have a client and I'm building the application for
them, but I've realized that I can actually market this app and possibly
make a profit from it.  I would need to redevelop the app (knowing what I
know now), but I don't know how to go about licensing this PHP/MySQL
application.  I've heard of GPL, but I also know there are different
flavors.  Can anyone point me into the right direction so I can actually own
all this work I'm doing.  Thanks.
