URL:
https://github.com/apache/shardingsphere/issues/37305#issuecomment-3630159131
## Issue Understanding
- Request: Replace ShardingSphere’s self-maintained MySQLCharacterSets
with MySQL Connector/J’s com.mysql.cj.NativeCharsetSettings to keep charset
behavior consistent with JDBC.
- License: MySQL Connector/J uses GPL-2.0 with Universal FOSS Exception
(GPL-2.0 with FOSS Exception).
## Root Cause
- License incompatibility: GPL-2.0 with FOSS Exception is classified by
the ASF as Category X and cannot be used as a compile-time or runtime
dependency in Apache projects. Category X means GPL’s copyleft terms conflict
with Apache 2.0’s redistribution requirements.
## Conclusion
- The proposal is not acceptable due to the license incompatibility
(Category X).
