Bug#403541: mysql driver missing - closing of #395959 was inappropriate
Package: libaprutil1 Version: 1.2.7+dfsg-2 Severity: serious Bug #395959 was closed as follows: | Hum ... this problem is due to the exclusion of the mysql DBD driver | (http://apache.webthing.com/svn/apache/apr/apr_dbd_mysql.c) from | the aprutil library because of licensing issue. (Cf INSTALL.MySQL | in the source package ...) Not much the apache team can do about that and the licencing decision is a policy decision from Apache upstream. Does that mean that the Debian Apache Team will not add the apr_dbd_mysql driver? Why? INSTALL.MySQL states: .. and there is no problem with a third party bundling the driver, provided you respect both the ASF and GPL licenses. So this should not be a problem. If the dbd architecture finds wider acceptance, not adding the mysql driver will disable mysql usage from within apache modules on debian systems.

reassign 403541 apr-util forcemerge 395959 403541 thanks Do not open a new bug because an existing bug was closed. Instead, you can continue the argument in the old bug itself. Does that mean that the Debian Apache Team will not add the apr_dbd_mysql driver? Why? INSTALL.MySQL states: .. and there is no problem with a third party bundling the driver, provided you respect both the ASF and GPL licenses. That is the opinion of the Apache Software Foundation. However, the FSF disagrees - see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html. What does of MySQL A.B. say? Their opinion matters because it's their copyright license which is arguably violated. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
