license for python MySQLdb library

Question

To the best of my understanding, the python MySQLdb library is dual-licensed, under both the GPL and the BSD-like CNRI license. I think this because of these links:

• Original author stating that Mysqldb is dual licensed
• One source file containing a clear dual license header

I am a little unclear because of:

• This answer to this question . Note that the assertion about the license of _mysql.c is currently false (don't know if it was true when posted).
• The fact that there is no clear statement of an overall license in the overall readme file in the source code

Overall, I'd say that MySQLdb is pretty clearly dual-licensed under GPL/CNRI. Am I wrong?

Answer 1

It looks like MySQLdb is clearly dual licensed.

I had missed the overall license statement, which is in the install file of the original repo, rather than its README.md file.
