This may not be strictly legal,   but you could have the end user download
MySQL...... to run with your software.....
   

exactly!  Is Linux distributed under the same type of license as MySql?  If
I sell software that runs on linux I dont have to give away my code, right?
To use my software you first have to install no charge Linux and MySql.  Why
would that not be permitted?

Because the MySQL license does not allow you to use it free with 
commercial software that requires MySQL.
If you are running commercial software that requires MySQL you must buy 
a license.
