Hello

The MySQL and its libraries has been put under the GPL (not LGPL) a while ago
and since then conflicts with PHP etc which is not GPL compatible but still
DFSG compliant (or so I understood).

MySQL addressed this issue now by making yet another version of their FLOSS
Exception license public which should resolve all problems.

It does no longer contain a section that was found conflicting last time I
asked but just to be sure someone should take a look at it.
(E.g. I wasn't sure if a Debian CD-Set where source and binaries are not on
the same CD is still considered as same "Medium" etc...) and what exactly they
were trying to say in point "3."...

thanks,
