Yep.

I don't think these are a problem, since they all use well-defined APIs to communicate.

Geeklog doesn't have that. Our APIs are somewhat messy since we also share internal data structures ($_CONF, the $LANG arrays, etc.). Which, according to interpretations expressed in earlier discussions, means there is no clear separation and therefore makes use of code under certain other licenses impossible. GPLv2 vs. GPLv3 might be one such case.

That's unrelated to the license issue, I assume? MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL. I use it on my test environment without any problems. We could probably start recommending it over MySQL, though, in the spirit of openness and all (which Oracle hasn't exactly subscribed to).

bye, Dirk
