That's only legal if you will be releasing your program under the GPL or 
LGPL licenses, or not releasing it to others at all.  If you use some 
other license, you must distribute MySQL++ as a dynamically linked 
library so that others have the freedom to replace it with a different 
version, if they choose.

That aside, sourcewise inclusion of the library into another program 
isn't supported.  It's meant to be linked to, like any other library. 
Instructions for this are in README-Visual-C++.txt, included with your 
copy of MySQL++.
