What is the FOSS License Exception?

   Oracle's Free and Open Source Software ("FOSS") License Exception
   (formerly known as the FLOSS License Exception) allows developers of FOSS
   applications to include Oracle's MySQL Client Libraries (also referred to
   as "MySQL Drivers" or "MySQL Connectors") with their FOSS applications.
   MySQL Client Libraries are typically licensed pursuant to version 2 of the
   General Public License ("GPL"), but this exception permits distribution of
   certain MySQL Client Libraries with a developer's FOSS applications
   licensed under the terms of another FOSS license listed below, even though
   such other FOSS license may be incompatible with the GPL.

   The following terms and conditions describe the circumstances under which
   Oracle's FOSS License Exception applies.

Oracle's FOSS License Exception Terms and Conditions

    1. Definitions. "Derivative Work" means a derivative work, as defined
       under applicable copyright law, formed entirely from the Program and
       one or more FOSS Applications.

       "FOSS Application" means a free and open source software application
       distributed subject to a license listed in the section below titled
       "FOSS License List."

       "FOSS Notice" means a notice placed by Oracle or MySQL in a copy of
       the MySQL Client Libraries stating that such copy of the MySQL Client
       Libraries may be distributed under Oracle's or MySQL's FOSS (or FLOSS)
       License Exception.

       "Independent Work" means portions of the Derivative Work that are not
       derived from the Program and can reasonably be considered independent
       and separate works.

       "Program" means a copy of Oracle's MySQL Client Libraries that
       contains a FOSS Notice.

    2. A FOSS application developer ("you" or "your") may distribute a
       Derivative Work provided that you and the Derivative Work meet all of
       the following conditions:

         a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and all portions
            (including modifications) of the Program included in the
            Derivative Work (provided that this condition does not apply to
            Independent Works);
         b. The Derivative Work does not include any work licensed under the
            GPL other than the Program;
         c. You distribute Independent Works subject to a license listed in
            the section below titled "FOSS License List";
         d. You distribute Independent Works in object code or executable
            form with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code
            on the same medium and under the same FOSS license applying to
            the object code or executable forms;
         e. All works that are aggregated with the Program or the Derivative
            Work on a medium or volume of storage are not derivative works of
            the Program, Derivative Work or FOSS Application, and must
            reasonably be considered independent and separate works.

    3. Oracle reserves all rights not expressly granted in these terms and
       conditions. If all of the above conditions are not met, then this FOSS
       License Exception does not apply to you or your Derivative Work.
