  1. FOSS License Exception
  2. http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/
  3. Updated February 23, 2012
  4. What is the FOSS License Exception?
  5. Oracle's Free and Open Source Software ("FOSS") License Exception
  6. (formerly known as the FLOSS License Exception) allows developers of FOSS
  7. applications to include Oracle's MySQL Client Libraries (also referred to
  8. as "MySQL Drivers" or "MySQL Connectors") with their FOSS applications.
  9. MySQL Client Libraries are typically licensed pursuant to version 2 of the
  10. General Public License ("GPL"), but this exception permits distribution of
  11. certain MySQL Client Libraries with a developer's FOSS applications
  12. licensed under the terms of another FOSS license listed below, even though
  13. such other FOSS license may be incompatible with the GPL.
  14. The following terms and conditions describe the circumstances under which
  15. Oracle's FOSS License Exception applies.
  16. Oracle's FOSS License Exception Terms and Conditions
  17. 1. Definitions. "Derivative Work" means a derivative work, as defined
  18. under applicable copyright law, formed entirely from the Program and
  19. one or more FOSS Applications.
  20. "FOSS Application" means a free and open source software application
  21. distributed subject to a license listed in the section below titled
  22. "FOSS License List."
  23. "FOSS Notice" means a notice placed by Oracle or MySQL in a copy of
  24. the MySQL Client Libraries stating that such copy of the MySQL Client
  25. Libraries may be distributed under Oracle's or MySQL's FOSS (or FLOSS)
  26. License Exception.
  27. "Independent Work" means portions of the Derivative Work that are not
  28. derived from the Program and can reasonably be considered independent
  29. and separate works.
  30. "Program" means a copy of Oracle's MySQL Client Libraries that
  31. contains a FOSS Notice.
  32. 2. A FOSS application developer ("you" or "your") may distribute a
  33. Derivative Work provided that you and the Derivative Work meet all of
  34. the following conditions:
  35. a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and all portions
  36. (including modifications) of the Program included in the
  37. Derivative Work (provided that this condition does not apply to
  38. Independent Works);
  39. b. The Derivative Work does not include any work licensed under the
  40. GPL other than the Program;
  41. c. You distribute Independent Works subject to a license listed in
  42. the section below titled "FOSS License List";
  43. d. You distribute Independent Works in object code or executable
  44. form with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code
  45. on the same medium and under the same FOSS license applying to
  46. the object code or executable forms;
  47. e. All works that are aggregated with the Program or the Derivative
  48. Work on a medium or volume of storage are not derivative works of
  49. the Program, Derivative Work or FOSS Application, and must
  50. reasonably be considered independent and separate works.
  51. 3. Oracle reserves all rights not expressly granted in these terms and
  52. conditions. If all of the above conditions are not met, then this FOSS
  53. License Exception does not apply to you or your Derivative Work.
