+MYSQL LICENSING UPDATE
+======================
+We were recently contacted by MySQL and informed that the MySQL client
+libraries are now under GPL license and not LGPL license as before.
+
+Since Asterisk does allow exceptions to GPL, we are removing MySQL support
+from standard Asterisk. We will, where appropriate, make it available via
+a separate package which will only be usable when Asterisk is used completely
+within GPL (i.e. not in conjunction with G.729, OpenH.323, etc). We
+apologize for the confusion.
+
+You may find this in the new "asterisk-addons" package.
