I suspect you are probably right, Jake - I just don't fully understand 
it yet. Are you saying that someone can apply additional conditions to 
GPL - ie. you can't be business type X, which does ABC, etc - without 
actually modifying the GPL? That's the part I don't understand. I 
thought the GPL carries the conditions of use within its verbiage.

I'm not really seeking to argue any particular point here - I'm just 
trying to understand how this thing works, particularly in reference to 
GPL...

BTW, when I asked the MySQL guy this followup question:

    Hi Matt. Thanks so much for your response.

    I have a followup question (because I know I'm going to get asked
    this by my peers here). Could you explain to me how the GPL has
    anything to do with us being an ASP? In other words, what part of
    the GPL distinguishes between whether a webapp on our servers is
    being accessed internally (from local network) vs. externally (via
    our clients)? Wouldn't we run into the exact same issue simply by
    using Linux servers (after all, Linux is GPL too)?

    Please explain. Thanks.

    Christian

here was his response:

    Christian,
     
    Linux is open source but I don't believe it is licensed under the
    GPL.  You can find the GPL terms and FAQ here,
    http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
     
    Regards,
     
    Matt

Hmmm...that clearly isn't correct (cf. 
http://www.linux.org/info/gnu.html). So I'm waiting for further 
explanation from them... Up to this point I just seem to be getting 
vague answers, but hopefully they're clarify here soon. I'll keep people 
posted on what they say, and if anyone else has insight, please feel 
free to educate me...

Christian

  <pre wrap="">Hi Christian,

I think this has more to do with the preconditions they apply as to when MySQL
is to be run under the GPL and when it has to run under a proprietary license. 
And I think the precondition turns on the entity using the product, not the code
that might access the database.  You, being an ASP, can't obtain/use MySQL under
the GPL licence because of who you are.  If preconditions allowed you to
obtain/use MySQL under the GPL, then at that point you could consider GPL
restrictions and allowances as it pertains to your code.  However, failing that
precondition, any GPL considerations are moot.

Basically, I think you are dealing with two separate issues.  Initially, you
assumed that you could use MySQL under the GPL and then were asking questions
about how a GPL'd MySQL would affect your non-GPL'd code.  But MySQL is telling
you that GPL is out of the question for ASP's (like yourself).  As such, your
initial questions are probably meaningless as it pertains to MySQL.  However,
if you use another DB which is only licensed under the GPL, then your original
questions and findings have meaning.

Of course this is all completely my own interpretation so take it with a great
big grain of salt.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.  If you are an ASP and your
application is not open source, we will need to arrange some sort of
arrangement.  Do you pay you a service or subscription fee?  How is
that structured?

If you are not an ASP and you are simply letting the public access
your website, licensing is not required and you are fine with the GPL.

Sincerely,
Matt Fredrickson

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So from their perspective, if you are an ASP (which we consider
ourselves to be), you must either GPL your app -OR- pay them a license
fee. Since we aren't inclined to do either of those, MySQL won't be an
option for us.

What is not clear to me is how they are reading the GPL to arrive at
this conclusion. What is clear to me is that they evidently feel they
have a legal basis for their position, so it seems fairly risky (to me)
to simply bank on my own interpretation of the license here.

If this is in fact the case, it would seem to have significant
implications for any ASP models using GPL code - what they seem to be
saying is that it doesn't matter whether you extend or even redistribute
the code (we don't do either). What matters is that you are "a
for-profit business is using the code in a centrally hosted application
which their customers can access."

Anyway, just thought I'd share our findings...

1.  If you are not distributing GPL code, you have no GPL issues (But

        From the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html</a>, Section 0,
Paragraph 2:

        Activities other than copying, distribution and modification

2.   Internal distribution is NOT distribution
        <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCInternalDistribution">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCInternalDistribution</a>
        Is making and using multiple copies within one organization or
company "distribution"?
                    No, in that case the organization is just making
the copies for itself. As a consequence,
                a company or other organization can develop a modified
version and install that version
                through its own facilities, without giving the staff
permission to release that modified version to outsiders.

                    However, when the organization transfers copies to
other organizations or individuals, that is distribution.
                In particular, providing copies to contractors for use
off-site is distribution.

      Even if not, you only have to provide the source to the people
who has obtained the executable.
      They can't ask for the source if they don't have the exe.
        <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCCanIDemandACopy">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCCanIDemandACopy</a>
        If I know someone has a copy of a GPL-covered program, can I
demand he give me a copy?
            No. The GPL gives him permission to make and redistribute
copies of the program if he chooses to do so.
            He also has the right not to redistribute the program, if
that is what he chooses


3.  There were some issue about the output of the application
        FAQ:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCWhatCaseIsOutputGPL">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCWhatCaseIsOutputGPL</a>
        In what cases is the output of a GPL program covered by the
GPL too?
           Only when the program copies part of itself into the output.


4.  Here is where you may be in trouble....  It says you are ok.  but
in the next paragraph it says you may not be.....

        <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCUnreleasedMods">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCUnreleasedMods</a>
        A company is running a modified version of a GPL'ed program on
a web site. Does the GPL say they must release their modified sources?
            The GPL permits anyone to make a modified version and use
it without ever distributing it to others.
            What this company is doing is a special case of that.
Therefore, the company does not have to release the modified sources.

            It is essential for people to have the freedom to make
modifications and use them privately,
             without ever publishing those modifications. However,
putting the program on a server machine
             for the public to talk to is hardly "private" use, so it
would be legitimate to require release of the
            source code in that special case. We are thinking about
doing something like this in
            GPL version 3, but we don't have precise wording in mind yet.

            In the mean time, you might want to use the Affero GPL for
programs designed for network server use.


All of the above is really a secondary question.
The real question is does you program come under the GPL just because
you use the MySql jdbc driver.

Under the GPL, If your program uses a GPL library, then your program
becomes subject to the GPL  (the reason for the LGPL, the Lesser GPL)
A.  So the driver is under the GPL.  If I make changes to the driver,
I have to release the changes to the driver.
B.  If I use the driver, Is that like linking to the library? and
comes under the GPL.
C.  Driver is not a library, and so my application is not subject to
the GPL.

So back to the GPL FAQ's

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCGPLPluginsInNF">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCGPLPluginsInNF</a>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCNFUseGPLPlugins">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCNFUseGPLPlugins</a>

Seems to suggest that only way option C would apply is if an exec or
fork is used to access/invoke the driver

Finally, given that MySQL went through the effort to change their
Driver license from LGPL to GPL
(to "more easily differentiate between a proprietary user who should
buy a commercial license ")
would suggest that the applications would come under the GPL

        Previously, the MySQL client libraries were licensed under the
LGPL (the Lesser General Public License)
        and now they use the GPL (the General Public License). What
prompted this change?

        MySQL's goal is to provide all its software under a free
software/open source license. The change from the
        LGPL to the GPL for the client libraries was made in 2001
during the development of MySQL 4.0 to help MySQL AB
        more easily differentiate between a proprietary user who
should buy a commercial license ...


In Conclusion,
My opinion (I'm not a lawyer) is that if you use the MySQL driver,
your application becomes subject to the GPL license.
Given that the Barracuda is under the LGPL, no real issues with the
application.
So only issue is #4 above....  Using the application on a public web
site **MIGHT** be considered distribution in the future ...

        Subject:        [barracuda] Question about GPL (semi off topic)




Hey, I am researching open source db's on Linux right now, looking
primarily at Postgress (BSD) vs. MySQL (GPL), and I am just wondering
about licensing issues. My understanding is that if you are simply
_using_ a GPL'd product (like a db), rather than actually modiying or
bundling it, GPL wouldn't apply to your code. But the MySQL site seems
kind of ambiguous in how they describe it.

So to put it specfically - proprietary server based applications (ie.
vertical solutions) that use Barracuda, Tomcat, etc. and simply
store/retrieve data in a GPL DB would NOT be subject to GPL. Right?

Anyone know of any resources out there that would explicitly confirm
(or deny!) that understanding?
