The FLOSS Exception is an exception to the terms and conditions of the GPL licensing for the MySQL clients that allows for greater compatibility between the GPL and other common Free Software/Open Source licenses. The complete text of the latest version is posted at http://zak.greant.com:8888/licensing/getfile/licensing/FLOSS- exception.txt?v=1.5 A history of changes may be found at http://zak.greant.com:8888/licensing/rlog?f=licensing/FLOSS- exception.txt (Click the (diff) links on the preceding page to see changes between version.) Barring any unforeseen difficulties, this exception should be added to the next minor releases of the various official MySQL client APIs. Cheers! --zak
