They say to their customers that creating an application which uses MySQL via their API e.g. linking or using the command line interface from a script is limited to GPLd application. Developers of proprietary applications using MySQL must buy a commercial license at least when the owner of the proprietary code either directly ships with a copy of MySQL or provides its customer with instructions how to obtain MySQL in order to run the proprietary code.
