This is the policy that I think applies here: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#optional Does the product work without MySQL? It sounds like that this would be an optional storage method, so depending on it would be fine. The uses who want to use MySQL will have to download the driver (and accept the terms of its license). Those that don't wish to use MySQL aren't affected. > Karl > > > On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 6:20 AM, 吴晟 Sheng Wu <wu.sh...@foxmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> Someone asked whether could provide a mysql based storage implemention for >> SKyWalking. >> I am aware mysql driver is under GPL, so should not be allowed, right? >> Then how about the mysql protocol?
