First of all, I am not mysql person and I would like to share my personal understanding only.
If your program is under GNU's GPL (ie. free open source software) you can use MySQL right away. There is no need to buy license. Otherwise, you may ask whether MySQL is an option or not. It means that if your logs and related information can go to other mean such as a text file then you are no need to buy license. However, if your program can't run without MySQL database, I think license will be required.
