MySQL FLOSS License Exception
|
|
|
|
The MySQL AB Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source
|
|
Software-only Applications Using MySQL Client Libraries (the
|
|
"FLOSS Exception").
|
|
|
|
Version 0.6, 7 March 2007
|
|
|
|
Exception Intent
|
|
|
|
We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software (``FLOSS'')
|
|
applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
|
|
libraries (the ``Program'') despite the fact that not all FLOSS
|
|
licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public
|
|
License (the ``GPL'').
|
|
|
|
Legal Terms and Conditions
|
|
|
|
As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0
|
|
of the GPL:
|
|
|
|
1. You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed
|
|
entirely from the Program and one or more works (each, a
|
|
"FLOSS Work") licensed under one or more of the licenses
|
|
listed below in section 1, as long as:
|
|
a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the
|
|
Derivative Work, except for identifiable sections of the
|
|
Derivative Work which are not derived from the Program,
|
|
and which can reasonably be considered independent and
|
|
separate works in themselves,
|
|
b. all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which
|
|
are not derived from the Program, and which can
|
|
reasonably be considered independent and separate works
|
|
in themselves,
|
|
i. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
|
|
listed below, and
|
|
ii. the object code or executable form of those sections
|
|
are accompanied by the complete corresponding
|
|
machine-readable source code for those sections on
|
|
the same medium and under the same FLOSS license as
|
|
the corresponding object code or executable forms of
|
|
those sections, and
|
|
c. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a
|
|
Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution
|
|
medium in accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be
|
|
considered independent and separate works in themselves
|
|
which are not derivatives of either the Program, a
|
|
Derivative Work or a FLOSS Work.
|
|
If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only
|
|
be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
|
|
conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from
|
|
MySQL AB.

Due to the many variants of some of the above licenses, we
|
|
require that any version follow the 2003 version of the Free
|
|
Software Foundation's Free Software Definition
|
|
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) or version 1.9 of

3. Definitions
|
|
|
|
a. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the
|
|
meaning provided in the GPL.
|
|
b. Derivative Work means a derivative work under copyright
|
|
law.
|
|
|
|
4. Applicability: This FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs
|
|
that contain a notice placed by MySQL AB saying that the
|
|
Program may be distributed under the terms of this FLOSS
|
|
Exception. If you create or distribute a work which is a
|
|
Derivative Work of both the Program and any other work
|
|
licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS Exception is not
|
|
available for that work; thus, you must remove the FLOSS
|
|
Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all
|
|
respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may
|
|
choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under
|
|
the terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice
|
|
from that copy of the Program, provided that the copy has
|
|
never been modified by you or any third party.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of libraries and packages

this appendix is provided merely as an additional service to
