roller-mysql-database has mysql dependency
------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-3816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3816
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: Plugins
Reporter: Kevan Miller
The roller-mysql-database plugin has a hard dependency on MySQL. We have to
remove this for licensing reasons. See explanation below.
I plan on disabling the building of the roller-mysql-database plugin as well as
removing the mysql dependency. We'll need to reach a decision on how we want to
handle this long term.
Here's more licensing info...
MySQL is Licensed under the GPL license:
http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/
MySQL is also available under a FLOSS exception:
http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/foss-exception.html.
The FLOSS exception only be applied to MySQL when it is
used under an OSI-approved license.
Neither license is deemed suitable by the Apache Software
Foundation in ASF distributions.
