[LICENSE] Is there a license problem to bundle mysql driver in distribution? #14446

Describe the bug

I just find that the pulsar-io-debezium-mysql-2.9.1.jar bundles the mysql jdbc driver (i.e. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java) which is under GPLv2, and is not compatible with Apache License 2 (Category-X).

Should we remove the mysql driver from the package distribution?

I agree that this is a license violation.
