I notice now that the source code from mysql is GPL2. I don't think it is compatible with our current LGPL3+/MPL licensing scheme, is it ? I mean, I wouldn't want to put the connector out there if it isn't. From what I have seen on the Apache OOo list, the connector code has not yet been moved over, and whether it can be integrated into the Apache code repo is as yet undetermined : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ApacheMigration I also found this on : http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 3 This is the latest version of the LGPL: a free software license, but not a strong copyleft license, because it permits linking with non-free modules. It is compatible with GPLv3. We recommend it for special circumstances only. Please note that LGPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 by itself. However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the terms of later versions of the GPL as well. When this is the case, you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination. To learn more about compatibility between GNU licenses, please see our FAQ. Mozilla Public License (MPL) This is a free software license which is not a strong copyleft; unlike the X11 license, it has some complex restrictions that make it incompatible with the GNU GPL. That is, a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the MPL cannot legally be linked together. We urge you not to use the MPL for this reason. However, MPL 1.1 has a provision (section 13) that allows a program (or parts of it) to offer a choice of another license as well. If part of a program allows the GNU GPL as an alternate choice, or any other GPL-compatible license as an alternate choice, that part of the program has a GPL-compatible license. Hmm, having doubts now. Alex _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
