It's enough if you write it per email and state that this addition applies
to 4.0.x, 4.1.x and will appear in the next release. Something like
In addition to the current MySQL manual licence, MySQL grants
permission to everyone to distribute the manual in unaltered
form (regarding to the content not the format) as long as the
server is distributed, too.
(please be careful with the definition of how exactly the server is
distributed as e.g. in Debian non-free is not considered part of "the Debian
distribution" but rather a part of the archive that is maintained for
convinience only... and also it maybe on a different CD-ROM so "on the same
medium" is also not valid... complicated...
If I have it in the next days that would be nice, else the release manager
might have no pardon as this is "only" a non-free package and the archive is
"frozen" for release..
