Exception: Sun defined an exception to this requirement, in that your
program is also allowed to link to the MySQL libraries if your
program is
licensed under one of the other licenses listed here:
http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/
So you can make a small wrapper library for your mysql calls, licence
it under the lgpl, then link against it in your main program, which
enables you to licence your main program as anything you like?
Obviously not. If you read the above-linked page, you'll see that it
only applies to applications, not tp libraries.
Furthermore, if you wish to make use of this exception with FPC
programs, you must adhere to the terms of the LGPL (or GPL) rather
than the LGPL+linking exception, since only the former is included in
the list of licenses to which that exception applies.
