The MySQL AB Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source

Software-only Applications Using MySQL Client Libraries (the
5
"FLOSS Exception").

Exception Intent
10
11
We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software (``FLOSS'')
12
applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
13
libraries (the ``Program'') despite the fact that not all FLOSS
14
licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public
15
License (the ``GPL'').
16
17
Legal Terms and Conditions
18
19
As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0
20
of the GPL:
21
22
 1. You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed
23
    entirely from the Program and one or more works (each, a
24
    "FLOSS Work") licensed under one or more of the licenses
25
    listed below in section 1, as long as:
26
      a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the
27
         Derivative Work, except for identifiable sections of the
28
         Derivative Work which are not derived from the Program,
29
         and which can reasonably be considered independent and
30
         separate works in themselves,
31
      b. all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which
32
         are not derived from the Program, and which can
33
         reasonably be considered independent and separate works
34
         in themselves,
35
           i. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
36
              listed below, and
37
          ii. the object code or executable form of those sections
38
              are accompanied by the complete corresponding
39
              machine-readable source code for those sections on
40
              the same medium and under the same FLOSS license as
41
              the corresponding object code or executable forms of
42
              those sections, and
43
      c. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a
44
         Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution
45
         medium in accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be
46
         considered independent and separate works in themselves
47
         which are not derivatives of either the Program, a
48
         Derivative Work or a FLOSS Work.
49
    If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only
50
    be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
51
    conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from
52
    MySQL AB.

 3. Definitions
89
90
      a. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the
91
         meaning provided in the GPL.
92
      b. Derivative Work means a derivative work under copyright
93
         law.
94
95
 4. Applicability: This FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs
96
    that contain a notice placed by MySQL AB saying that the
97
    Program may be distributed under the terms of this FLOSS
98
    Exception. If you create or distribute a work which is a
99
    Derivative Work of both the Program and any other work
100
    licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS Exception is not
101
    available for that work; thus, you must remove the FLOSS
102
    Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all
103
    respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may
104
    choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under
105
    the terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice
106
    from that copy of the Program, provided that the copy has
107
    never been modified by you or any third party.

which are covered by the FLOSS License Exception. Please note that
113
this appendix is provided merely as an additional service to
114
specific FLOSS projects wishing to simplify licensing information
