Linking with the client library is covered by the FLOSS exception which
|
|
includes OpenSSL now. So that's clean. Indeed, the OpenSSL is not
|
|
compliant with the FSF free software guidelines, however it *is*
|
|
compliant with the OSI guidelines. And that's good enough for us.
|
|
Christian is correct in saying that the author of a GPL app that links
|
|
with MySQL may find themselves in a licensing headache (or may not
|
|
realize that OpenSSL is involved) but that is their responsibility.
|
|
The MySQL client can be linked with a number of other licenses, it
|
|
would not be feasible for MySQL to take over the responsibility for
|
|
"the next level" of how combinations of licenses work out. There are
|
|
too many possibilities, and combinations of more just 2 licenses.

No, we should simply not be linking libmysqlclient against OpenSSL. The
|
|
exemption was needed because there exists software that uses both
|
|
libmysqlclient and libssl, but making libmysqlclient itself use libssl just
|
|
because we now have the exemption will cause licensing problems for
|
|
applications which currently do *not* depend on libssl.

There are plenty of reasons to move software to gnutls, but doing so is
|
|
non-trivial.
