As far as I understood Zak Greant (MySQL)'s intention and the text of the online doku, there is no point in which states that the currently displayed license at http://www.mysql.com/ does not apply to the currently downloadable versions, which includes 4.0.20. A counterexample is that they do make a note that for the 3.23 server version which is to be used under a different license. -> we are fine to use the currently displayed license for our packages The only minor bug I can currently see is that the licence text in the manual of mysql-doc (non-free) contradicts with the up-to-date text in debian/copyright. How do our debian-legel guys see this? bye, -christian-
