MySQL 4.0 license change
The license for the MySQL 4.0 client API has changed from LGPL to GPL. See http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/16/03OPstrategic_1.html?developme nt for full details. I guess this affects Kannel - my understanding is that linking GPL libraries under the current Kannel license is not possible. Am I correct ?

It's not allowed to link closed source applications against GPLed libraries. But available under what license ? My understanding is that if you link or include GPL code into a code base, then that code base itself must be made available under GPL. I recall from the early days of Kannel that using GPL licensed components was'nt possible, whereas LGPL was OK.

From GPL FAQ: Combining two modules means connecting them together so that they form a single larger program. If either part is covered by the GPL, the whole combination must also be released under the GPL--if you can't, or won't, do that, you may not combine them. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation

I think you are quoting that out of the context now; what the quotation means is that it is _possible_ to link for example Kannel with GPL'd software - but then the whole bundle must be GPL'd. Your quotation just tells, that Kannel licence, being a free one, is GPL-compatible and does not prevent it being made GPL. But there is no question about linking: linking GPL'd program with another program means that you have to release the combined program under GPL.

That's the essential restriction on the GPL, forcing combined components to be morphed into the same policy, hence GPL. Which is definetly a problem. But this would imply only, that someone who wants mysql support is not able to distribute the bundled binaries (hence included libmysqlclient) under BSD style. He would require to make the whole set available under GPL. Right?

Re: AW: MySQL 4.0 license change
hi, This is becoming quite a headache, i did some reading on this today and their (mysql's) bottom line is if you are a company or a goverment that's not developing open source software you should get a commercial licence. in one of the threads i read they suggested that fork is what we should use! hope this helps.

RE: MySQL 4.0 license change
Does neutral injection platform mean something like ODBC? Another option would be a clean room implementation of the MySQL libraries. After all, the protocol is well known, so how hard can it be to wrap this into a library? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Stipe Tolj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 21.

[RFC] job opportunities for Kannel developers
Hi list, this is slight off-topic, so please don't flame me ;) Wapme is looking for 1-2 Kannel developers who are able to join Alex and me on the future work and architecture design of Kannel. Wapme's policy is to have an open, clean and stable Kannel maintained in the official open-source way as core base of it's yet closed extensions and add-ons. An requirement would be presence in Düsseldorf for all appliers that have not the reputation of having served already major contributions to the project. For those who have served major contributions an remote working style may be appropriate. If you are interested please send us your CV and expect an answer from our side. Thanks a lot.

Small bug in smsbox
Hi, sms box now supports url as well as text and exec methods for generating responses to sms. However the use of parameters for the exec cases is somewhat flawed: smsbox performs url encoding on the command parameters, which is probably undesirable for most applications. A quick but dirty solution is to insert a call to octstr_url_decode(pattern); just after the case TRANSTYPE_EXECUTE: But there must be a better solution, no?! P. - Paul A.
