I find MySQL's use of GPL particularly offensive. By what manner of logic does linking to an interface library to communicate with a separate and distinct process make a client a "derivative work",
I understand this. Any program, by linking to a GPL interface library, is expanding its own functionality and without said interface library that program would not have that functionality. The person who wrote the code that provides the interface library made it GPL for the exact fact that they only wanted similar GLP code to link to it. "Derivative work" is just legalese that expresses that desire.
