I thought that too. It definitely says that its distributed under the GPL on
the web site. This was one the reasons I downloaded it!

What do you mean about dropped LGPL licence ?
If I understood well, on the website, MaxDb is STILL under GPL. Isn't it ?

So, you should choose SapDB 7.3 or 7.4 due License issues.
7.3 ands 7.4 are GPL/LGPL, since 7.5 aka MaxDB LGPL is dropped, so you are
forced to pay for Userlicences. Refer to http://www.mysql.com

We are thinking about to fork the SapDB 7.3/7.4 Brances to continue in
GPL/LGPL.
