Why you always talk about *client* fee ?? what about the server?
Sincerily, I'm see MySQL is not the best option for a commercial application
(you don´t distribute you application with GPL lincense). Postgresql is a
excellent DB using BSD license and the last version improve the speed
reponse.
Someones thinks the license of Mysql isn´t confusing .. It is!!!.
In my country so much people think Mysql is free ... I say them "It's no
free ... It's open source".
Two study cases:
1. If I design a desktop application for use with MySQL but I'm not
distribute any MySQL client or server and It's my client who install the
server and client ... apply any fee?
2. If I use MySQL on a commercial home page ... apply any fee??

And quite misinformed, unfortunately.
$595 is the per-server price for MySQL Enterprise, which includes
support, the network monitoring and advisory service, and more. It is
not the OEM pricing. You may notice that we don't publish OEM pricing,
precisely because it is far too easy for someone to think they just need
to multiply some base price times some theoretical number of units.
If you are an ISV looking to license MySQL for distribution with your
application, contact the MySQL sales team. They are happy to work with
you to fit find the pricing model that makes the most sense. (Or, of
course, you can just open source your application.)
And I hope we can now consider this horse to be sufficiently dead.
