1 MySQL FLOSS License Exception
2
3 The MySQL AB Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source
4 Software-only Applications Using MySQL Client Libraries (the
5 "FLOSS Exception").
6
7 Version 0.6, 7 March 2007
8
9 Exception Intent
10
11 We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software (``FLOSS'')
12 applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
13 libraries (the ``Program'') despite the fact that not all FLOSS
14 licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public
15 License (the ``GPL'').
16
17 Legal Terms and Conditions
18
19 As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0
20 of the GPL:
21
22 1. You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed
23 entirely from the Program and one or more works (each, a
24 "FLOSS Work") licensed under one or more of the licenses
25 listed below in section 1, as long as:
26 a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the
27 Derivative Work, except for identifiable sections of the
28 Derivative Work which are not derived from the Program,
29 and which can reasonably be considered independent and
30 separate works in themselves,
31 b. all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which
32 are not derived from the Program, and which can
33 reasonably be considered independent and separate works
34 in themselves,
35 i. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
36 listed below, and
37 ii. the object code or executable form of those sections
38 are accompanied by the complete corresponding
39 machine-readable source code for those sections on
40 the same medium and under the same FLOSS license as
41 the corresponding object code or executable forms of
42 those sections, and
43 c. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a
44 Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution
45 medium in accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be
46 considered independent and separate works in themselves
47 which are not derivatives of either the Program, a
48 Derivative Work or a FLOSS Work.
49 If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only
50 be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
51 conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from
52 MySQL AB.

81 Due to the many variants of some of the above licenses, we
82 require that any version follow the 2003 version of the Free
83 Software Foundation's Free Software Definition
84 (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) or version 1.9 of
85 the Open Source Definition by the Open Source Initiative
86 (http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php).
87
88 3. Definitions
89
90 a. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the
91 meaning provided in the GPL.
92 b. Derivative Work means a derivative work under copyright
93 law.
94
95 4. Applicability: This FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs
96 that contain a notice placed by MySQL AB saying that the
97 Program may be distributed under the terms of this FLOSS
98 Exception. If you create or distribute a work which is a
99 Derivative Work of both the Program and any other work
100 licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS Exception is not
101 available for that work; thus, you must remove the FLOSS
102 Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all
103 respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may
104 choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under
105 the terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice
106 from that copy of the Program, provided that the copy has
107 never been modified by you or any third party.
108
109 Appendix A. Qualified Libraries and Packages
110
111 The following is a non-exhaustive list of libraries and packages
112 which are covered by the FLOSS License Exception. Please note that
113 this appendix is provided merely as an additional service to
114 specific FLOSS projects wishing to simplify licensing information
115 for their users. Compliance with one of the licenses noted under
116 the "FLOSS license list" section remains a prerequisite.
