We will not be removing these source tar balls completely, only from public access via our FTP. Enterprise customers still have (and will always have) access to the source tar balls, we have no plans of changing this at all. In any case, distributing MySQL on an appliance that is being sold would require commercial binaries, not GPL binaries, as I understand.

Hi Daevid, all! Daevid Vincent wrote: Is this anything to be concerned about? We are Enterprise customers. We distribute mySQL on our appliance that we sell.

For those who use the GPL'ed builds, this is dictated by the GPL; for those using a commercial license, similar arrangements exist. And community users obviously also get (and will get) the sources. All these sources of fixed versions (as opposed to ongoing development) are handled as tarballs (.tar.gz) in our build processes, so these files are what we make accessible. I do not see either of this to change in the future - access to the sources is an important part of the MySQL AB principles. The only thing that really changed is the location, and this is what some people make a fuss about (which I should not comment any further).

Re: MySQL Ends Enterprise Server Source Tarballs
I think we/he is referring to the future of SOURCE tarballs being RELEASED by MySQL (in UPCOMING releases), not just current releases which is what the mirror hosts.
