Assuming this is an optional component, general support for the connector could be included. But your users will need to download mysql-jdbc-connector, themselves. > Are Apache projects allowed to ship mysql-jdbc-connector in binary convenience releases? > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LEGAL-200 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-200 > Project: Legal Discuss > Issue Type: Question > Reporter: Jakob Frank > > The mysql-jdbc-connector is GPLv2 [1, 2], but has a FOSS License Exception [3]. > Does this exception allow Apache projects to bundle the binary of the mysql-jdbc-connector within a convenience binary? > [1] http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ > [2] http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html > [3] http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/ -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: legal-discuss-unsubscribe@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: legal-discuss-help@apache.org
