license question about libmysqlclient

Hi:

I just downloaded and installed the mariadb-10.0.17-linux-x86_64. From the lib directory, I found the libmysqlclient.a and other related files. My question is, are they built from the native mariadb connector? Are they GPL or LGPL. Thank you!!

Sean

Answer

This connector — libmysqlclient — is GPL.

Get the LGPL connector from https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-c/
