Subject:Question about silent install and license
View as plain text  
Hi,

Maybe this is a question that the subscribers of the packagers list can
answer:

We are developing a server where we are using MySQL 4.0.11 a gamma. Our
source code is going to be open source but I'm not sure it will be under
the GPL license. We use the binary win32 version of MySQL and we have
not modified any source files in MySQL.

To make it easier for end users to install the server we are planning to
create a installer (InstallAnywhere (commercial)) that includes the
MySQL zip file along with our own code. The installer will unzip the
MySQL zip file and executes setup.exe -s (a silent install of MySQL).

Is this permitted when MySQL used the GPL license?  Do our code need to
be GPL?
