Just to clarify things, I'm not interested in GPL advocacy nor I want to
discuss here my personal point of view about the definition of
derivative work. I posted my question because in that thread Rudy Lippan
stated that "if the distributor uses 4.x", then DBD::mysql must be
distributed under the GPL. Given also that MySQL AB explicitely switched
from LGPL to GPL (and I assume this has a particular meaning), and that
they grant an explicit permission to PHP, I feel encouraged to think
that it's not just a matter of crazy GPL fanatics.
