Non GPL Python MySQL Client Library.

[Hank Fay]

Except that Python does not "link" the library, it simply calls it.  The
distinction made in the document seems to be whether the library is linked.
When module A calls module B, is that different than calling module b from
the shell, in terms of viral infection?  Probably a point for lawyers to
debate.
