The MySQL++ User Manual has another license than the library itself,
but the -manuals subpackage inherits its License field from the main
package. This shall be fixed, but it's not obvious what the license of
the manual should be called. It's described as follows:
| The MySQL++ User Manual is licensed under a unique license derived from
| the Linux Documentation Project License. (The only changes are due to
| the fact that the User Manual isn't actually part of the LDP, so a lot
| of the language in the LDPL doesn't make sense when applied to the user
| manual.)
The license text is included below. Shall I call this license "LDPL",
or does it need a name of its own?

redistribution is permitted and encouraged. Thirty days advance
notice via email to the authors of redistribution is appreciated,
to give the authors time to provide updated documents.

1. The modified version must be labeled as such.
2. The person making the modifications must be
identified.
3. Acknowledgement of the original author must be
retained.

documents that incorporate the MySQL++ User Manual may
not have more restrictive license terms than these,
except that you may require distributors to make the
resulting document available in source format.
