Hello Fellow members,

I want to understand the licence, can we use percona tools or utilities for example extradB backup for building tools and can sale as part of the subscription or one-time payment. its like we make a tool which will internally use Percona tools , utilities or commands.

if yes do we need to take any permission or approval?
