Hello all,

I found this old thread: http://lists.mysql.com/perl/2651
and I thought that by DBD::mysql 4.00 the dual-license scheme would have
been replaced by the single GPL to comply with MySQL client libraries.
Why is DBD::mysql still distributed under Perl license, given that is
definitely "derivative work" of a GPL library?

Cheers,
