 Appendix I MySQL FLOSS License Exception
 ****************************************
 
                      Version 0.3, 10 February 2005
 
 The MySQL AB Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source Software-only
 Applications Using MySQL Client Libraries (the "FLOSS Exception").
 
 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.

      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

   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.
