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.
The lawyer I just phoned to is telling me she'll get back to me soon with an assessment whether or not we can give that permission. I hope I can get back to you in time.
Ok, thanks.
(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..
Argh. Are you referring to the whole MySQL package, or just to the Reference Manual, when you're talking about the non-free package?
Everything under Docs/ is split away to the mysql-doc package and part of the "non-free" area. The rest (mysql-server, mysql-client, libs) is also in separate packages but all belongs to the "main" area. The only thing I removed was the benchmark tests but that doesn't matter, I guess.
Hi Christian,
phew! :) I'm happy to see that issues with the Manual don't keep you from putting MySQL where it belongs -- in the main area. However, I'll keep trying to resolve unclarities about the MySQL Manual once and for all -- so thanks for taking your time to discuss this with me!
