+ MySQL FOSS License Exception We want free and open source
+ software applications under certain licenses to be able to use
+ specified GPL-licensed MySQL client libraries despite the fact
+ that not all such FOSS licenses are compatible with version
+ 2 of the GNU General Public License.  Therefore there are
+ special exceptions to the terms and conditions of the GPLv2
+ as applied to these client libraries, which are identified
+ and described in more detail in the FOSS License Exception at
+ <http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception.html>.

+ > License Exception) allows developers of FOSS applications to include
+ > Oracle's MySQL Client Libraries (also referred to as "MySQL Drivers"
+ > or "MySQL Connectors") with their FOSS applications. MySQL Client
+ > Libraries are typically licensed pursuant to version 2 of the General
+ > Public License ("GPL"), but this exception permits distribution of
+ > certain MySQL Client Libraries with a developer¿s FOSS applications
+ > licensed under the terms of another FOSS license listed below,
