MySQL and PHP now OK together?

Along the same lines, PHP (at least the FC1 PHP RPM) also requires
libgdbm.  It also requires libfreetype (another case of the RPM saying
GPL when it isn't).  The php-snmp RPM requires libelf from elfutils
which is GPL.

I'm all for getting licenses correct, but don't throw stones at MySQL 4
and say it can't be linked to PHP or Apache because of GPL when parts of
both PHP and Apache are already linked against other GPL libraries.
