At one place on the MySQL site I see:

  http://www.mysql.com/support/arrangements.html

which says the client library is under the LGPL.

At another place I see:

  http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Copyright.html

which says the entire codebase, including the client, is released under
the GPL.

Does this mean newer versions of MySQL client libraries are GPL'd?  I'll
be disappointed if this is true, because there are plenty of open source
licenses which are incompatible with the GPL.  This means that none of
those other open source projects can use or include support for MySQL.
Which is a shame.
