MySQL FOSS License Exception
|
|
|
|
|
We want free and open source software applications under certain
|
|
|
|
|
licenses to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
|
|
|
|
|
libraries despite the fact that not all such FOSS licenses are
|
|
|
|
|
compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore there are special exceptions to the terms and conditions
|
|
|
|
|
of the GPLv2 as applied to these client libraries, which are
|
|
|
|
|
identified and described in more detail in the FOSS License
|
|
|
|
|
Exception at
|
|
|

GPLv2 Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
|
For the avoidance of doubt, except that if any license choice
|
|
|
|
|
other than GPL or LGPL is available it will apply instead,
|
|
|
|
|
Oracle elects to use only the General Public License version 2
|
|
|
|
|
(GPLv2) at this time for any software where a choice of GPL
|
|
|
|
|
license versions is made available with the language indicating
|
|
|
|
|
that GPLv2 or any later version may be used, or where a choice
|
|
|
|
|
of which version of the GPL is applied is otherwise unspecified.
