> The roller-mysql-database plugin has a hard dependency on MySQL. We have to remove this for licensing reasons. See explanation below.
> I plan on disabling the building of the roller-mysql-database plugin as well as removing the mysql dependency. We'll need to reach a decision on how we want to handle this long term.
> Here's more licensing info...

>              The FLOSS exception only be applied to MySQL when it is
