Forwarding this to snort-users to prod folks to let mysql know that they should add the QPL (Barnyard's License) to their FLOSS exceptions list for Mysql 4.0. Without this addition, BY will not be able to support Mysql 4.x. Go here to speak up: http://www.mysql.com/company/contact/ -steve
Also, from the 3.23 change log: Changes in release 3.23.19 -------------------------- * Changed copyright for all files to `GPL' for the server code and utilities and to LGPL for the client libraries. So at least at one point there was an explicit decision to have the libraries under the LGPL. Other statements aside, these two facts lead me to believe that the client libraries are covered by the LGPL and can continue to be linked in with Barnyard. Regardless, linking against 4.0 libraries is still explicitly not allowed. The exceptions that were added to 4.0 were to get around the more restrictive licensing for the client libraries. -A
This is what the manual that came with my 3.23.54 reads: 1. All the MySQL-specific source in the server, the mysqlclient library and the client, as well as the GNU readline library is covered by the GNU General Public License. See section H GNU General Public License. The text of this license can also be found as the file `COPYING' in the distributions. So, apparently their docs disagree with each other. And so does the source, the source for libmysql says LGPL. As you were. Sorry for the stir-up. -steve PS. I sent a nag to mysql to get QPL added to the list of FLOSS exceptions. I suggest others that use BY do the same. ------------------------------------------------------- This Newsletter Sponsored by: Macrovision For reliable Linux application installations, use the industry's leading setup authoring tool, InstallShield X.
