MySQL provides PHP and FLOSS licenses exception for its GPL library:
http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/opensource-license.html

Please provide a clarification README file to mysql RPM packages
regarding the legal reasons why Red Hat cannot supply MySQL 4.0 (or 4.1).

Comment 2 Tom Lane 2004-10-18 18:38:10 UTC

I would like nothing better than to drop 3.x and ship 4.x.  Our legal
department is however unsatisfied with MySQL AB's FLOSS exception, and
the ball is in their court.

Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
