MySQL-OpenSSL linking, news by MySQL team.about licensing

["Francesco P. Lovergine" <frankie@debian.org>]

Dear all

we have some news about #167747 which is potentially of interest
of all packages which links OpenSSL libraries and MySQL libraries.

MySQL libraries currently are plain GPL, NOT LGPL as someone thought.

Stay tuned.

Dear Francesco,

Thanks for the note!

libmysql is indeed GPL licensed.  I will discuss the possibility of adding a 
specific exception for OpenSSL with David Axmark.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns!

Cheers!
