MySQL Writes Exception for PHP in License

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the cool-with-us dept.

ryanjensen writes "According to an article on News.com, MySQL wrote an exception into its license to allow PHP to use its libraries. From the article: 'Because MySQL owns copyright to all the MySQL code, it can include additional license provisions to its software. The new provision, called the Free and Open Source Software License Exception, enables people to use MySQL client libraries with other open-source projects under other open-source licenses other than the GPL.'"

  7. He touched my junk! (S'core:5, insightful) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    mysql touched my junk liberally. he strapped me in to his postgrestor and he couldnt keep his offensive hands off of me. he was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told mysql the city would not approve of a millionaire touching an underage kid for free.
    can you believe it? mysql did all this. he picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the postgrestor's passenger seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.
    they definately were red flag touches. the goddamn referee he had in the back seat kept on raising up this red flag every time he touched my junk but did mysql care? NO WAY! he just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with mysql but to no avail. I told him the city would not approve of such a wealthy man touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as his own personal plaything.
    this got to him, worrying about his image. he continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the referee's red flags. then he drove the postgrestor to my house and ejected the seat i was in! it was amazing. but surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, my bank account had $150k in it!!! Can you believe it?

  10. Check out Python Server Pages by ultrabot · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When you start feeling that PHP doesn't have the muscle to do what needs to be done, you might want to check out PSP (Python Server Pages) which is a standard feature of new mod_python, and very much like PHP, with the exception of using a more sophisticated language for scripting.
