The MySQL gem is licensed under the Ruby license, but links with the MySQL client libraries, and so (if I am correct) should be GPL instead. But, if that becomes GPL, then it would infect ActiveRecord, and so we are back to my original question. I would be delighted to find that I am wrong about that. --Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
