Appendix I MySQL FLOSS License Exception
|
|
****************************************
|
|
|
|
Version 0.3, 10 February 2005
|
|
|
|
The MySQL AB Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source Software-only
|
|
Applications Using MySQL Client Libraries (the "FLOSS Exception").
|
|
|
|
Exception Intent
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software ("FLOSS")
|
|
applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
|
|
libraries (the "Program") despite the fact that not all FLOSS licenses
|
|
are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public License (the
|
|
"GPL").
|
|
|
|
Legal Terms and Conditions
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0 of the
|
|
GPL:
|
|
|
|
1. You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed
|
|
entirely from the Program and one or more works (each, a "FLOSS
|
|
Work") licensed under one or more of the licenses listed below in
|
|
section 1, as long as:
|
|
|
|
a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the
|
|
Derivative Work, except for identifiable sections of the
|
|
Derivative Work which are not derived from the Program, and
|
|
which can reasonably be considered independent and separate
|
|
works in themselves,
|
|
|
|
b. all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which are not
|
|
derived from the Program, and which can reasonably be
|
|
considered independent and separate works in themselves,
|
|
|
|
i
|
|
are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
|
|
listed below, and
|
|
|
|
ii
|
|
the object code or executable form of those sections are
|
|
accompanied by the complete corresponding
|
|
machine-readable source code for those sections on the
|
|
same medium and under the same FLOSS license as the
|
|
corresponding object code or executable forms of those
|
|
sections, and
|
|
|
|
c. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a
|
|
Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution
|
|
medium in accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be
|
|
considered independent and separate works in themselves which
|
|
are not derivatives of either the Program, a Derivative Work
|
|
or a FLOSS Work.
|
|
|
|
If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only be
|
|
copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
|
|
conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from MySQL
|
|
AB.

Due to the many variants of some of the above licenses, we require
|
|
that any version follow the 2003 version of the Free Software
|
|
Foundation's Free Software Definition
|
|
(`http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html') or version 1.9 of

3. Definitions
|
|
|
|
a. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meaning
|
|
provided in the GPL.
|
|
|
|
b. Derivative Work means a derivative work under copyright law.
|
|
|
|
4. Applicability This FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs that
|
|
contain a notice placed by MySQL AB saying that the Program may be
|
|
distributed under the terms of this FLOSS Exception. If you
|
|
create or distribute a work which is a Derivative Work of both the
|
|
Program and any other work licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS
|
|
Exception is not available for that work; thus, you must remove
|
|
the FLOSS Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL
|
|
in all respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may
|
|
choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under the
|
|
terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice from that
|
|
copy of the Program, provided that the copy has never been
|
|
modified by you or any third party.
