Description
Subject of the issue
There seems to be a license Incompatibility with github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql, a dependency pulled in by mysql/mysql.go. This makes packaging for downstream users difficult. As a downstream user I'm not familiar with your libary, but it seems like the dependency is not heavily used. Is there an alternatively licensed or custom implementation that could allow you to remove the dependency?

Steps to reproduce
- Go to
Line 8 in cea08a0
github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql v1.8.1 - See the inclusion of
github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql - Observe its license declaration as MPL2.0
Expected behaviour
The project includes dependencies with licenses compatible with the Apache License 2.0 to avoid conflicts and ensure proper compliance for downstream users.
Actual behaviour
The project includes github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql, which is licensed under MPL2.0. This creates a license incompatibility issue as MPL2.0 has different copyleft requirements than Apache 2.0. This makes packaging potentially prohibitive for downstream users.
