+According to the file "COPYING" all parts of this package are licenced

+
+To allow free software with other licences than the GPL to link against the 
+shared library, special terms for "derived works" are granted in the README file of MySQL 5.5, as follows:
+
+> MySQL FOSS License Exception
+> We want free and open source software applications under certain
+> licenses to be able to use specified GPL-licensed MySQL client
+> libraries despite the fact that not all such FOSS licenses are
+> compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public License.  
+> Therefore there are special exceptions to the terms and conditions 
+> of the GPLv2 as applied to these client libraries, which are 
+> identified and described in more detail in the FOSS License 
+> Exception at 
+> <http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception.html>.
+
+The manual had to be removed as it is not free in the sense of the
+Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG).
