+MySQL FLOSS License Exception
+
+The MySQL AB Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source
+Software-only Applications Using MySQL Client Libraries (the
+"FLOSS Exception").
+
+Version 0.5, 30 August 2006
+
+Exception Intent
+
+We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software (``FLOSS'')
+applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
+libraries (the ``Program'') despite the fact that not all FLOSS
+licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public
+License (the ``GPL'').
+
+Legal Terms and Conditions
+
+As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0
+of the GPL:
+
+ 1. You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed
+    entirely from the Program and one or more works (each, a
+    "FLOSS Work") licensed under one or more of the licenses
+    listed below in section 1, as long as:
+      a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the
+         Derivative Work, except for identifiable sections of the
+         Derivative Work which are not derived from the Program,
+         and which can reasonably be considered independent and
+         separate works in themselves,
+      b. all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which
+         are not derived from the Program, and which can
+         reasonably be considered independent and separate works
+         in themselves,
+           i. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
+              listed below, and
+          ii. the object code or executable form of those sections
+              are accompanied by the complete corresponding
+              machine-readable source code for those sections on
+              the same medium and under the same FLOSS license as
+              the corresponding object code or executable forms of
+              those sections, and
+      c. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a
+         Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution
+         medium in accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be
+         considered independent and separate works in themselves
+         which are not derivatives of either the Program, a
+         Derivative Work or a FLOSS Work.
+    If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only
+    be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
+    conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from
+    MySQL AB.
+
+ 2. FLOSS License List

+
+    Due to the many variants of some of the above licenses, we
+    require that any version follow the 2003 version of the Free
+    Software Foundation's Free Software Definition
+    (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) or version 1.9 of
+    the Open Source Definition by the Open Source Initiative
+    (http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php).
+
+ 3. Definitions
+
+      a. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the
+         meaning provided in the GPL.
+      b. Derivative Work means a derivative work under copyright
+         law.
+
+ 4. Applicability: This FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs
+    that contain a notice placed by MySQL AB saying that the
+    Program may be distributed under the terms of this FLOSS
+    Exception. If you create or distribute a work which is a
+    Derivative Work of both the Program and any other work
+    licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS Exception is not
+    available for that work; thus, you must remove the FLOSS
+    Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all
+    respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may
+    choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under
+    the terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice
+    from that copy of the Program, provided that the copy has
+    never been modified by you or any third party.
+
+Appendix A. Qualified Libraries and Packages
+
+The following is a non-exhaustive list of libraries and packages
+which are covered by the FLOSS License Exception. Please note that
+this appendix is provided merely as an additional service to
+specific FLOSS projects wishing to simplify licensing information
+for their users. Compliance with one of the licenses noted under
+the "FLOSS license list" section remains a prerequisite.
