hi, as far as i understood the messages on debian-legal, the license of some mysql libraries changed from lgpl to gpl. this makes it impossible to link any non-gpl conform software with them.
anyway, i've no glue about what this has to do with pyhton-mysqldb, as this is licensed under "GPL or the original license based on Python 1.5.2's license", where we always can choose GPL. i don't know whether "python 1.5.2's license" is gpl compatible or not, but maybe we can ask upstream to clarify the situation if it is that way. bye jonas
