Actually, MySQL now ships with INNODB, which does do transactions. I don't know if it does hot backups or not, but creating your data tables in an INNODB tablespace definitely gives you transaction support, foreign keys, and other things MySQL left out (on purpose).

I would say that depends on what features you need. If you need transactions and hot backups, MySQL is not free. Other open source databases are.
