Description:
This report raises 3 issues:
1. Inconsistency found between packages w.r.t the licensing information. 
2. Licensing information is missing with enterprise gpl packages as below:
3. Shows licensing text in the README for linux package but Oracle copyright still shows 2010 intead of 2011 here.

The problem goes like this-
With mysql-enterprise-gpl-5.0.92-winx64.zip
- No License agreement screen on install
- No LICENSE.mysql
- No README

With mysql-enterprise-gpl-5.0.92-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz
- No LICENSE.mysql
- README file exists that shows Oracle copyright with GPL text
But the Oracle copyright shows 2010 intead of 2011 here. 

How to repeat:
Install above mentioned packages.
