+The Connector/J JDBC Driver client library from MariaDB.org, which is licensed under the LGPL,
+is used in development when running integration tests that use the Flyway library.  That JDBC
+driver is however not included in and distributed with the Fineract product, and is not
+required to use the product.
+If you are developer and object to using the LGPL licensed Connector/J JDBC driver,
+simply do not run the integration tests that use the Flyway library.
+As discussed in [LEGAL-462](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-462), this project therefore
+complies with the [Apache Software Foundation third-party license policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html).
