Middle men can have value: for example, the grocery store, distributors, etc are middle men between you and a farmer. Does that make them evil?
I don't think that's a valid use of copyright, but I'm not a lawyer. Can anyone explain to me how that's a valid use of the GPL?Because this is a GPL protocol, any product which uses it to connect to a MySQL server, or to emulate a MySQL server, or to interpose between any client and server which uses the protocol, or for any similar purpose, is also bound by the GPL. Therefore if you use this description to write a program, you must release your program as GPL.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
