The situation you describe would mean that mysql would be non-free, and thus not part of Debian. The license of mysql 4.0.14 is a mixture of the GPL, LGPL and BSD licenses, with nothing prohibiting commercial use. I see nothing in the license to call for purchase of a special mysql license for this use. -- see shy jo
