As I just asked in my reply to Rasmus -- does the 3.x client work with 4.1+ servers?
No. Nor does the 4.1 client work with 3.x. And given the new free-as-in-fungal license on mysql 4, I think that there may be long-term continued use of 3.x for many many years to come. 
    I thought both 3.x and 4.x are GPL/commercial dual-licensed.
    A quick scan of the MySQL manual doesn't reveal anything else.
    Can you point me to a document that describes the change you're
    talking about?
Until recently the client libraries for 3.x were LGPL'd, as of the last couple versions of 3.x they are GPL, as are 4.x. This is a serious license change that affects anyone distributing a commercial application with mysql compatibility. George
