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 0.5, 30 August 2006 |
|||
|
|||
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. |

Appendix A. Qualified Libraries and Packages |

The following is a non-exhaustive list of libraries and packages |
|||
which are covered by the FLOSS License Exception. Please note that |
|||
this appendix is provided merely as an additional service to |
|||
specific FLOSS projects wishing to simplify licensing information |
|||
for their users. Compliance with one of the licenses noted under |
|||
the "FLOSS license list" section remains a prerequisite. |
