+ * Linking src/oracle.c ("the oracle plugin") statically or dynamically with

+ * Note that people who make modified versions of the oracle plugin are not
+ * obligated to grant this special exception for their modified versions; it is
+ * their choice whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives
+ * permission to release a modified version without this exception; this
+ * exception also makes it possible to release a modified version which carries
+ * forward this exception. However, without this exception the OTN License does
+ * not allow linking with code licensed under the GNU General Public License.
