Hi Adam.
I saw you emailed our Sales Support alias and had a question.
Does Connector/MXJ fall under the FOSS license exception?
Here is a link that should answer most of your questions.
http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/
Strictly speaking Connectors do not qualify for FOSS exception:
The FOSS License Exception does not apply to Oracle's MySQL database server or
any Oracle or MySQL software
other than the GPL-licensed MySQL Client Libraries.
Hopefully this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
PatB.
