And there has been quit a bit of subsequent discussion.

I wonder just what Lionel was proposing [1] after the announcement [2]
of changed licence for the mariadb / mysql client library.  How would
this compare in effort and benefit to the job of making the mysql
extension work with LibreOffice 4.0?

Just by the way, does this change of licence return mysql to
consideration for LO's built-in database [4]?

Terry.
