there.
There is one more piece of very confusing information to more people. I
know
what it means, but directly it is confusing.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/licensing-notice.html
"Therefore if you use this description to write a program, you must release
your program as GPL."
Under any type of law, how does this even hold water? The GPL is about
distribution of software or a work, not a NDA. This type of statement
should
never have been made.
Agreed, which is, why Jim and I have stated it is removed from the rest
of the website, but the internals docs haven't unfortunately been
updated like the rest of the site. Note that we will work to remove it
as soon as possible.
cheers,
Jay
