FYI: Next draft of MySQL FLOSS license exception

[Zak Greant]

Greetings,

There is a new draft of the MySQL FLOSS license exception that is  
available for public review at
http://zak.greant.com:8888/licensing/getfile/licensing/FLOSS- 
exception.txt?v=1.4

The intent of the exception is to allow more Free/Libre and Open Source  
Software applications to be able to form derivative works with  
GPL-licensed MySQL software.

No formal OSI review of this exception is requested, however, we are  
actively seeking input on the process of reviewing and drafting this  
document.

If you have input to provide, please use the issue tracking system at  
http://zak.greant.com:8888/licensing/ or directly email me. I do ask  
that you review the existing issues in our issue tracking system before  
commenting. See http://zak.greant.com:8888/licensing/rptview?rn=8 for a  
list of issues.
