Given what Christian Hammers has said below, I guess debian-legal better move quickly to evaluate what's going on here. (I personally only have a vague recollection of the issue in question, and would have to review bug logs/mailing list threads to get back up to speed.) Mr. Hammers, in the future when declaring that you're awaiting feedback from the debian-legal list, it might be wise to let them know. :) ----- Forwarded message from Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org> ----- From: Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org> To: Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>, 242449@bugs.debian.org Cc: debian-policy@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Bug#242449: mysql vs. libdbd-mysql-perl vs. apache Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 00:43:33 +0200 Message-Id: <20040709004333.18a38473@app109.intern> X-Mailing-List: <debian-policy@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/17192 X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.9.10claws (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-pc-linux-gnu) X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=4.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.63-lists.debian.org_2004_06_20_05 Hello Mat On 2004-07-06 Matt Zimmerman wrote: > Any word on this?

Yes, being just back from holidays I see that the version 1.4 of the FLOSS Exception Licence made its way to the documentation at the mysql.com web site: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/MySQL_FOSS_License_Exception.html As far as I understood the issues this bug can now be closed. I will do it if I do not receive any objections in the next 2-3 days from the debian-legal people (in case another problem arose while I was away...). bye, -christian- ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
