Add the foss license exemption (with a -license suffix, so

  oracle-foss-license-exemption-license

and then in the mysql-client library, assuming that package has only
things covered by the exemption, put

  LICENSE= gnu-gpl-v2 OR oracle-foss-license-exemption-license

if not everything, then still add the file, and instead put a comment.
Either way, add a comment explaining that mysql's GPL2 license is
incompatible with readline.

It may turn out that the command-line program (analagous to psql) is not
covered by the exemption, only the "client libraries".
