Also in the manual -
"If your use of MySQL does not require a license, but you like MySQL and
want to encourage further development, you are certainly welcome to
purchase a license or MySQL support anyway."
"We feel that if MySQL helps your business, it is reasonable to ask that
you help MySQL. (Otherwise, if you ask us support questions, you are not
only using for free something into which we've put a lot a work, you're
asking us to provide free support, too.)"

Mike, John;
What mike is saying below seems quite true:

us

That being said, Caldera PS has fielded clients who specifically ask for
MySQL; we also use a MySQL database on UnixWare as a repository for our
business data. We "voted with our dollars" and purchased a license for
MySQL, even though we didn't need to. In a get-what-you-pay-for market,
if MySQL works for you, you might consider such a purchase. Better
chance of them being around tomorrow.
