We found out Mysql odbc connector is released under gplv2 license. We have a commercial application (in c#) that connects to mysql (using Mysql.data) so we are supposed not to use mysql odbc connector because we would have to release our source code.

How can I connect to MySQL usign a method that does not involve using a gplv2 connector in order we dont have to publish our source code under the same license ?
