This is becoming quite a headache, i did some reading on this today and their (mysql's) bottom line is if you are a company or a goverment that's not developing open source software you should get a commercial licence.
in one of the threads i read they suggested that fork is what we should use!
hope this helps.

The license for the MySQL 4.0 client API has changed from LGPL to GPL.
See

for full details.
I guess this affects Kannel - my understanding is that linking GPL libraries under the current Kannel license is not possible. Am I correct ?
