RE: Barnyard over SSL

Hmmm..."'curiouser and curioser,' said Alice"...this lends itself to a
question, then.  We have a snort sensor running FreeBSD 4.10 and
mysql-standard-4.0.20.  The boss wants us to implement barnyard-0.2.0 on
this box.  However, it appears this will not work, given the version of
MySQL we presently use and from what you gentlemen are saying.  Is this,
indeed, correct?

I am not sure I agree with the remarks about 3.23 licensing.
I have both MySQL 3.23.58 and 4.0.18 source trees here.  The 3.23.58 
source has a distinct COPYING.LIB file for the library licensing that 
indicates it is LGPL.  This is removed from the 4.0 source tree.

Also, from the 3.23 change log:

Changes in release 3.23.19
--------------------------

    * Changed copyright for all files to `GPL' for the server code and
      utilities and to LGPL for the client libraries.

So at least at one point there was an explicit decision to have the 
libraries under the LGPL.

Other statements aside, these two facts lead me to believe that the 
client libraries are covered by the LGPL and can continue to be linked 
in with Barnyard.  Regardless, linking against 4.0 libraries is still 
explicitly not allowed.  The exceptions that were added to 4.0 were to 
get around the more restrictive licensing for the client libraries.
