The exception says that the MySQL client code can be combined with
any code licensed under one of a laundry-list of FLOSS licenses.
However, it does not require that the resulting code be so licensed.
Thus, you could have component A licensed under the BSD license
(which does *not* require derivative works to be made available in
source form) combined with your libraries and the result delivered
in binary form only. Presumably this is not what you want.
Yikes! I will go away and fix that now.
Cheers!
