Good Day All,
Let me attempt to provide some clarity on this issues (though it is
important to note that I am not a lawyer or a judge.)
The fundaments of the GPL are easy to understand.
The GPL operates within standard copyright law.
Under copyright law[0], the copyright holder has a bundle of

This was sarcastic, not real question aiming the next sentence

You need a license if you sell a product designed specifically for use
with MySQL or that requires the MySQL server to function at all. This is
true whether or not you provide MySQL for your client as part of your

Strange thing: How can SUSE redistribute mySQL when it is not 100% GPL?

OK. But 2nd statement is not taken from GPL.

Hi,
