So, the email posting includes this text:


We are considering offering a blanket exception that will allow MySQL to
be used in combined works where the combined work is licensed under one
or more OSI approved licenses.

This will allow most (if not all) free and open source software projects
to continue to use MySQL as they always have and will ensure that
combined works created using GPL-licensed MySQL must still release
their source and allow others to copy, modify and distribute it.

So, I go to the OSI Approved Licenses page:

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/

and they list the Apache Software license......

so... we're looking good?

we need to check how far "we are considering" has progressed?
