Are MySQL driver and MySQL protocol allowed in distribution?
Hi,
Someone asked whether could provide a mysql based storage implemention for SKyWalking.
I am aware mysql driver is under GPL, so should not be allowed, right?
Then how about the mysql protocol? If they implement the codes by themself, because the storage required a few features compared to the real driver.
Thanks
Sheng Wu

Yes, MySQL will be an optional feature. And only required by a few people.
So, asking them to download is good enough.
I will share this solution to the community.

This is the policy that I think applies here:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#optional
Does the product work without MySQL?
It sounds like that this would be an optional storage method, so
depending on it would be fine.
The uses who want to use MySQL will have to download the driver (and
accept the terms of its license).
Those that don't wish to use MySQL aren't affected.

The simple rule, in standards or in open source, is:
Incorporate by Reference not by Inclusion.
All else is details.

You can't distribute the MySQL driver, but as long as you don't distribute
the driver, you are free to solve the problem any way you like. You can
require that the user download the driver themselves, or you can develop
your own driver -- all of those are fine.
