Well it is and it isn't. A couple of years ago when I was involved with choosing DB for a (proprietary) application we could not figure MySQLs license out.

We choose Postgresql based on features (MySQL did not have stored procedures back then) so we never resolved the license "dilemma" but it sure looked strange.
