We might get in trouble with their (MySQL) trademark guys with this:

D. Damaging Use.

The MySQL AB Marks may not be used in a manner or with respect to
products that will decrease the value of the MySQL AB Marks or otherwise
impair or damage MySQL AB's brand integrity, reputation or goodwill,
including (without limitation) use in a manner that is unethical,
offensive, disparaging, defamatory, illegal or in bad taste.
