MySQL FOSS License Exception

We want free and open source software applications under 

certain licenses to be able to use the GPL-licensed MySQL 

Connector/NET (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>

GPLv2 Disclaimer

For the avoidance of doubt, except that if any license choice

other than GPL or LGPL is available it will apply instead, 

Oracle elects to use only the General Public License version 2 

(GPLv2) at this time for any software where a choice of GPL 

license versions is made available with the language indicating 

that GPLv2 or any later version may be used, or where a choice 

of which version of the GPL is applied is otherwise unspecified.
