The discussion is not to bundle MySQL, but the *driver* to access MySQL from
LibreOffice. The one currently "floating around" uses a GPLed C++ library,
namely the MySQL C++ connector, and our policy is no GPLed code in the
LibreOffice binaries distributed by The Document Foundation.

It could be bundled if it would be rewritten to use only the LGPL C library.

Calling it MySQL or MariaDB is mostly political, since the same driver will
work for both.
