limiting the use of mysql to a set of computers

[cs3mw]

Hi I am trying to limit the use of a mysql to a particular set of computers i.e. in a school. Unfortunately at this stage the school are unable to purchase a commercial licence to host on their server and I was wondering if anyone out there knew an article which I could talke a look at on how to limit the use of a database to a set of computers or any or any other methods.

Thanks in adavnce

MySQL has free licenses so I'm not sure why the lack of a commercial license would be an issue.
