Is this true? Has the license for the MySQL client libraries changed from LGPL to GPL?

The license document. MySQL4 changed the client libraries from LGPL to GPL which makes using mysql with a lot of stuff like PHP infeasible -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

PHP at this moment _*doesn't distribute bundled libmysql*_ (PHP uses it's own license, not GPL), but you still can build PHP with external libmysql. this fact can affect only Win32 users, because they don't build PHP themselves (in most cases). --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
