Some drivers will need to be placed in the endorsed folder as they will end up loading native libraries which can access other code. I'm not sure where the security file you would need to edit to not make this a requirement is if one even exists. My experience with the MS SQL (not MySQL) driver is it needs to be in this directory to work. You can change the location of this directory using switches if you need it to be some where else for file and drive setup reasons.
