On licensing

The GPLv3 draft suggests some new dimensions and options for developers of GPL software. At MySQL, we believe in Free Software and in Open Source. We believe in ubiquity.

So to be very clear:
We do not intend to make any changes that would harm the community.

What we do want, is input from the MySQL community on licensing. GPLv3 is not yet written in stone, and as co-chair of the Discussion Committee B at FSF, I am depending on your feedback. Feel free to ask questions, raise concerns, come with suggestions!
