You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the + Derivative Work, except for identifiable sections of the + Derivative Work which are not derived from the Program, and + which can reasonably be considered independent and separate + works in themselves, + + b. all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which are not + derived from the Program, and which can reasonably be + considered independent and separate works in themselves, + + i + are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses + listed below, and + + ii + the object code or executable form of those sections are + accompanied by the complete corresponding + machine-readable source code for those sections on the + same medium and under the same FLOSS license as the + corresponding object code or executable forms of those + sections, and + + c. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a + Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution + medium in accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be + considered independent and separate works in themselves which + are not derivatives of either the Program, a Derivative Work + or a FLOSS Work. + + If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only be + copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and + conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from MySQL + AB. + + 2.

If you + create or distribute a work which is a Derivative Work of both the + Program and any other work licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS + Exception is not available for that work; thus, you must remove + the FLOSS Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL + in all respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may + choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under the + terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice from that + copy of the Program, provided that the copy has never been + modified by you or any third party. + |
