That's true, the debian/copyright file says :
1. All the MySQL-specific source in the server, the mysqlclient
library and the client, as well as the GNU readline library is
covered by the GNU General Public License. See section [26]H GNU
General Public License. The text of this license can also be found
as the file `COPYING' in the distributions.
while the .c files headers state that they are licensed under the LGPL.
So what has been said is true for a GPL'ed library, but not for
libmysqlclient.
