------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-09 08:27 -------
According to a post on php|architect by Zak Greant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
MySQL AB Community Advocate:
We are preparing an extension for the GPL as it is applied to MySQL that
will grant additional rights to users. (Can we do this? Yes - the FSF has
done this itself with Bison - see
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCCanIUseGPLToolsForNF)
The extension will allow users to explicitly link (and then distribute) the
MySQL client library into combined works that are licenced in entirety under
one or more open source licenses. (How will we determine if something is an
open source license? We will likely use the Open Source Initiatives Open
Source Definition [See http://opensource.org/docs/definition.php] and list
of approved Open Source licenses [See http://opensource.org/licenses/] )
We are still hashing out the exact details internally, with our lawyers and
with community leaders, and hope to have a completed text within a few
weeks.

description:
php-mysql is linked to libmysqlclient. But libmysqlclient is not longer LGPL.
The license of libmysqlclient V4 is now GPL (check the sources in libmysql and
libmysql_r directory).
PHP license is incompatible with GPL :
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html
----------------------------
The PHP License, Version 3.0.
This license is used by most of PHP4. It is a non-copyleft free software
license which is incompatible with the GNU GPL.
We recommend that you not use this license for anything except PHP add-ons.
The Zend License, Version 2.0.
This license is used by one part of PHP4. It is a non-copyleft free software
license which is incompatible with the GNU GPL, and has practical problems like
those of the original BSD license.
We recommend that you not use this license for anything you write.
----------------------------
This new conflit also applies to apache_mod_mysql.
