+MySQL FOSS License Exception
+We want free and open source software applications under certain
+licenses to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
+libraries despite the fact that not all such FOSS licenses are
+compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
+Therefore there are special exceptions to the terms and conditions
+of the GPLv2 as applied to these client libraries, which are
+identified and described in more detail in the FOSS License
+Exception at

+
+GPLv2 Disclaimer
+For the avoidance of doubt, except that if any license choice
+other than GPL or LGPL is available it will apply instead,
+Oracle elects to use only the General Public License version 2
+(GPLv2) at this time for any software where a choice of GPL
+license versions is made available with the language indicating
+that GPLv2 or any later version may be used, or where a choice
+of which version of the GPL is applied is otherwise unspecified.
