David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-3816:
----------------------------------------
I'm not sure why we would change the groupId.
Rather than requiring modifying the pom to build I think it would be OK to
require using a profile named something like "build-gpl-plugin" and clearly
stating the licensing consequences in the NOTICE file.

> 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.
