The server distribution still uses the old GPL one for now.
There is a separate download called MariaDB connector/C that is a LGPL
libmysqlclient replacement.
However that one wasn't really source code compatible with existing
programs last time I tried to compile a couple buildroot packages
against it.
Upstream bug: https://jira.mariadb.org/projects/CONC/issues/CONC-200
Yours sincerely,
