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?
