Heya Dirk. The MM.MySQL driver was recently LGPL'd by the author, Mark Matthews. If the documentation which comes with it still states that it is GPL'd, that documentation is out of date -- contacting Mark ought to resolve the issue (and yes I tried to make the case for a BSD/Apache license ;). Check the "Intrdouction" section, and the "Synopsis" box in the upper right hand corner of the following page for verification: http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
