MySQL licenses for dummies

The following summary shows my personal understanding of MySQL 5.1 licenses, packages and products. It does not necessarily reflect 100% the way MySQL understands it. But after all the discussions I hope it is as close as possible to the reality:
MySQL Embedded Database Server
(Download -> OEM Software)
Classic (OEM license, -MEM -InnoDB) Pro (= Classic +InnoDB) Advanced (= Pro +Partitioning)
MySQL Community Sever
(Download -> Download)
Community (GPL, -NDB)
MySQL Enterprise Server
(Download -> Enterprise Software)
Pro (GPL or commercial, -NDB +InnoDB +MEM, Basic + Silver customer, MRU + QSP) Advanced (= Pro +Partitioning, Gold + Platinum customer)
MySQL Cluster
(Download)
Community Edition (GPL, all features) Com (ex CGE?) (OEM or commercial, -InnoDB +NDB) Com-Pro (Com, all features) Standard Edition (= Com, -NDB-API -Cluster-Repl, -LDAP)
Upgrade
EP customer should follow the QSP trail unless it is critical for them to install an MRU to get a quick bugfix to hold them over until the next QSP is released.
Month version / release 0 5.1.30 1 5.1.30-MRU1 2 5.1.30-MRU2 3 5.1.31 4 5.1.31-MRU1 and 5.1.30-QSP 5 5.1.31-MRU2 6 5.1.32 7 5.1.32-MRU1 and 5.1.31-QSP
Legend

Please correct me, if I am wrong. And when you have more questions let me know and I try to clear this.
