I don't know whether the info at

  http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html

reflects what that guy was writing about, but it has some encouraging
language:

  If your application is licensed under GPL or compatible OSI license
  approved by MySQL AB, you are free and welcome to ship any GPL software
  of MySQL AB with your application. By "application" we mean any type of
  software application, system, tool or utility. For doing this, you do
  not need a separate signed agreement with MySQL AB, because the GPL text
  is sufficient.

In fact, I'd say it sounds like we don't even have to have our plugin be
GPL'd.

The above might imply that we should get the Shibboleth license (or is it
maybe the Internet2 license) listed as an approved OSI license.  Or maybe
it just means MySQL AB should approve our license.  I'll ask.

I couldn't find the code in cvs that makes the mysql calls?  Where is it,
or what is it that we're calling (so I can tell them)?
