| 6 | +What is the FOSS License Exception? |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | + Oracle's Free and Open Source Software ("FOSS") License Exception |
| 9 | + (formerly known as the FLOSS License Exception) allows developers of FOSS |
| 10 | + applications to include Oracle's MySQL Client Libraries (also referred to |
| 11 | + as "MySQL Drivers" or "MySQL Connectors") with their FOSS applications. |
| 12 | + MySQL Client Libraries are typically licensed pursuant to version 2 of the |
| 13 | + General Public License ("GPL"), but this exception permits distribution of |
| 14 | + certain MySQL Client Libraries with a developer's FOSS applications |
| 15 | + licensed under the terms of another FOSS license listed below, even though |
| 16 | + such other FOSS license may be incompatible with the GPL. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + The following terms and conditions describe the circumstances under which |
| 19 | + Oracle's FOSS License Exception applies. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Oracle's FOSS License Exception Terms and Conditions |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + 1. Definitions. "Derivative Work" means a derivative work, as defined |
| 24 | + under applicable copyright law, formed entirely from the Program and |
| 25 | + one or more FOSS Applications. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + "FOSS Application" means a free and open source software application |
| 28 | + distributed subject to a license listed in the section below titled |
| 29 | + "FOSS License List." |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + "FOSS Notice" means a notice placed by Oracle or MySQL in a copy of |
| 32 | + the MySQL Client Libraries stating that such copy of the MySQL Client |
| 33 | + Libraries may be distributed under Oracle's or MySQL's FOSS (or FLOSS) |
| 34 | + License Exception. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + "Independent Work" means portions of the Derivative Work that are not |
| 37 | + derived from the Program and can reasonably be considered independent |
| 38 | + and separate works. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + "Program" means a copy of Oracle's MySQL Client Libraries that |
| 41 | + contains a FOSS Notice. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + 2. A FOSS application developer ("you" or "your") may distribute a |
| 44 | + Derivative Work provided that you and the Derivative Work meet all of |
| 45 | + the following conditions: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and all portions |
| 48 | + (including modifications) of the Program included in the |
| 49 | + Derivative Work (provided that this condition does not apply to |
| 50 | + Independent Works); |
| 51 | + b. The Derivative Work does not include any work licensed under the |
| 52 | + GPL other than the Program; |
| 53 | + c. You distribute Independent Works subject to a license listed in |
| 54 | + the section below titled "FOSS License List"; |
| 55 | + d. You distribute Independent Works in object code or executable |
| 56 | + form with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code |
| 57 | + on the same medium and under the same FOSS license applying to |
| 58 | + the object code or executable forms; |
| 59 | + e. All works that are aggregated with the Program or the Derivative |
| 60 | + Work on a medium or volume of storage are not derivative works of |
| 61 | + the Program, Derivative Work or FOSS Application, and must |
| 62 | + reasonably be considered independent and separate works. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + 3. Oracle reserves all rights not expressly granted in these terms and |
| 65 | + conditions. If all of the above conditions are not met, then this FOSS |
| 66 | + License Exception does not apply to you or your Derivative Work. |
