Jigal,

but the current license seems require a
commercial license only if you distribute MySQL with your commercial
product.


I'm sorry, but I believe your statement is incorrect. If you distribute an application (outside of the GPL) that requires MySQL to run (whether you distribute the MySQL engine or not), then the person receiving the application needs a commercial MySQL license. It doesn't matter if it is a commercial application or a free application, or an application you are distributing worldwide or even within your own organization, or if you are distributing MySQL engine with your application or not. If your application requires MySQL to run, and you distribute that application outside of the GPL, then you need a MySQL license.

Here it is directly from MySQL.Com
http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/
If you distribute a proprietary application in any way, and you are not licensing and distributing your source code under GPL, you need to purchase a commercial license of MySQL
