    initial v1  
    22> You will not find any prebuilt MySQL/MariaDB ports, because they are built with OpenSSL 1.1, which MySQL/MariaDB themselves being licensed under GPL do not allow binary redistribution of (this condition may go away if the ports are migrated to OpenSSL 3, which is GPL compatible).
    33
    4 MySQL/MariaDB ports have been migrated to OpenSSL 3, so this should no longer be an issue. However, even though OpenSSL 1.1-GPL incompatibility was previously why MacPorts claimed it could not offer prebuilt MySQL/MariaDB ports, this may not have reflected whether either of these upstream projects may actually have granted an OpenSSL linking exception (applicable to unofficial 3rd-party binary distributions). For example, MySQL licensing since 5.6 has the following text [https://downloads.mysql.com/docs/licenses/mysqld-5.6-gpl-en.pdf]:
