Description:
The community version of the MySQL Utilities includes both the commercial and GPL versions of the readme license files.

How to repeat:
Download and extract the "source" version.

$ ls -al README*
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrew None 41255 Aug  2 06:17 README.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrew None   855 Aug  2 06:17 README_com.txt

And both LICENSE files, obviously.

$ ls -al LICENSE*
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrew None 17987 Aug  2 06:17 LICENSE.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrew None  2779 Aug  2 06:17 LICENSE_com.txt

Posted by developer:
 
The source packages of Utilities 1.3.4 have been repackaged with only the GPL-referencing LICENSE and README files, signed and posted as 1.3.4a on dev.mysql.com for download.  These source packages are identical to the original 1.3.4 community source packages, except README_com.txt and LICENSE_com.txt have been removed.  Build scripts are being updated to correct future releases.

Fixed as of MySQL Utilities 1.3.5, and here's the changelog entry:

The source packages of Utilities 1.3.4 were repackaged with only the
GPL-referencing LICENSE and README files, signed and posted as 1.3.4a on
dev.mysql.com for download. These source packages were identical to the
original 1.3.4 community source packages, except README_com.txt and
LICENSE_com.txt have been removed.

Thank you for the bug report.
