Also lt. MariaDB-Hersteller hat der Einsatz des
MySQL-
ODBC-Connectors keinen Einfluss auf die
GPL-Falle...
Zitat von
https://kb.askmonty.org/en/licensing-faq/#using-a-database-source-independent-framework:
Any software can be connected to the
GPL v2 licensed
MySQL Connector/
ODBC, without the need for that software to be GPLed. This is because there is a piece of general management software, the
ODBC manager, between the GPLed
MySQL Connector/
ODBC and your software. If any logic would require the software which interfaces with
MySQL Connector/
ODBC to be
GPL, then that would apply also to the
ODBC manager itself. Yet, the
ODBC manager is not
GPL, neither on Windows nor on Linux. By consequence, no one would be allowed to use
MySQL ODBC driver for anything.
