Depends on what is being linked to -- isn't libmysql distributed under LGPL? That might(*) make things easier. Also, Sun (and presumably now Oracle) maintain a long list of license exceptions for other FOSS licenses (MPL, CDDL, etc. etc. -- it's a LONG list). Could do worse than just asking them if linking from GPLv3 code is OK, and then putting an exception in your own code for MySQL. Best wishes, -- Joe (*) I say "might" because I seem to recall there's a nasty compatibility bug between LGPLv2-only and GPLv3, but I might be misremembering, so don't take my word for it. _______________________________________________ Help-gsl mailing list Help-gsl@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gsl
