Right, and in 90% case-sensitive YOUR USERS THINK that mySQL is free.
This is why they want it.
But try to warn and ask them:
you know that you MUST pay $595 each year?
and see their wondered eyes :-)
Your users can be in situation like is discussed here about
"REAL should warn developers".
The same can tell your users:
you was need to warn me.

Now more worse things:
Read this:
