Just a short note, that there are certain exceptions, which MySQL
listed here http://www.mysql.de/company/legal/licensing/foss-
exception.html :
>>>>
Exception Intent
We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software ("FLOSS")
applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
libraries (the "Program") despite the fact that not all FLOSS
licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public
License (the "GPL").
Legal Terms and Conditions
As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0 of
the GPL:
You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed entirely
from the Program and one or more works (each, a "FLOSS Work")
licensed under one or more of the licenses listed below in section 1,
as long as:
You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the Derivative
Work, except for identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which
are not derived from the Program, and which can reasonably be
considered independent and separate works in themselves,
all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which are not
derived from the Program, and which can reasonably be considered
independent and separate works in themselves,
are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses listed below, and
the object code or executable form of those sections are accompanied
by the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for those
sections on the same medium and under the same FLOSS license as the
corresponding object code or executable forms of those sections, and
any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a Derivative
Work on a volume of a storage or distribution medium in accordance
with the GPL, can reasonably be considered independent and separate
works in themselves which are not derivatives of either the Program,
a Derivative Work or a FLOSS Work.
If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only be
copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and conditions
of the GPL or another valid licensing option from MySQL AB.
