Katiliyorum. PHP listesinden bir alinti daha:
Numarali maddeler MySQL lisansindan. Alttakiler de yorumlar:
/*
"1. Free use for those who are 100% GPL"
IOW, it's not free for PHP
"2. Free use for those who never copy, modify or distribute"
IOW, it's not free for PHP
3. GPL would infect the whole PHP tree
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
*/
Bu da Rasmus Lerdorf'tan:
"There is no malicious intent here. MySQL changed their license on the
new client libraries and we had to decide if we wanted to continue to
bundle the older library, which admittedly we could do without any license
problems, but as people upgrade their servers, this older library will
become less and less useful. We figured the cleanest solution was to make
a clean break in PHP 5 and let people install their own client library to
match their installed server."
Burada onemli olan, PHP-MySQL gibi cok uyumlu calisan, adlari birlikte
anilan ikilinin gelecegi. Yine Lerdorf der ki:
"In the MySQL case we need to make sure that our MySQL extension can be
linked against a non-GPL'ed library so as to not encourage people to
violate the GPL. And MySQL AB will have some specific terms for
open-source projects like PHP that will make this easier for us."
"You really shouldn't worry very much about this. Neither the PHP
developers nor the MySQL developers want to make life difficult on
PHP-MySQL users. We may not bundle libmysqlclient anymore, but that
doesn't mean that we will drop MySQL support. The bundled library did
cause some problems over the years with mismatched libraries and in the
end you are better off having a single libmysqlclient library on your
system that you link everything against instead of having some stuff
linked against one version of the library and other stuff linked against
another."
Konuda taraf degilim; oyle algilanmamasi icin de yorum yapmadan sadece bu
kadar yazacagim.
Saygilar.
