IANAL, but it is impossible for a *protocol* to be GPL. PHP has had (if
a bit belatedly) the same objection to MySQL, so PHP 5 ships with SQLite
by default only, and future PHP versions will have a new MySQL driver,
which speaks the MySQL protocol but is licensed under the PHP license
(which is BSD-like). <http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PHP_MYSQLND>
