             Summary: Flink CDC connector release contains jar with incompatible licenses
                 Key: FLINK-35055
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-35055
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Flink CDC
            Reporter: Xiqian YU


Currently, Flink CDC connector releases both slim and fat jars. Apart from CDC itself, all of its dependencies are packaged into fat jars, including some with incompatible licenses:
 * Db2 connector: `com.ibm.db2.jcc:db2jcc:db2jcc4` licensed with a non-FOSS license (International Program License Agreement).
 * MySQL connector: `mysql:mysql-connector-java` licensed with GPLv2 license, which is incompatible with Apache 2.0.
 * Oracle connector: `com.oracle.ojdbc` licensed with a non-FOSS license (Oracle Free Use Terms and Conditions).

To fix this problem we may:
 # Exclude questionable dependencies from released jar;
 # Add docs to guide user download & place dependencies manually.
