At http://apache.cbox.biz/incubator/zeppelin/0.5.0-incubating/ (my neareast
Apache mirror) I see two binary downloads and one source download.
If you don't include mysql-connector.jar in the binaries then everything is
fine.
People wanting to use the MySQL interpreter should build Zeppelin from
source (i.e. should use the third download: zeppelin-0.5.0-incubating.tgz).
Zeppelin's distributions should not bring mysql-connector.jar with them.
Maven's `<dependency>...</dependency>` and code like `import com.mysql.*`
doesn't violate the rules, so it is safe to have it in Apache sources.
