MariaDB embedded server license

I have a question about the embedded server version: I'm planning to develop my own closed source commercial project and to distribute it together with the embedded MariaDB server (libmysqld.dll in the Microsoft Windows Environment). The embedded server library would not be modified or recompiled; it would only be dynamically linked to my software. Do I need a license of any kind? Are there restrictions?

I believe you do - I suggest contacting a mariadb.com representative for details.
