You may want to read up on MySQL's licenseing system if you havn't
already as well. It's not necessairly what you expect... Basically, if
you don't want to open source (ie: GPL-compatible) the code which uses
MySQL you might need to buy a license from them. Check their website
for a more detailed (though not necessairly any clearer) discussion of
the issues.
Thanks,
Stephen
