Only if you distribute MySQL as part of your application.

If the application runs on your server then you don't need a license.  If
you distribute the application for clients to install on their servers, and
you require that they have MySQL installed to run you app, then it's kind of
grey, but I would say you probably DON'T need a license, especially if the
binding from your app to a MySQL database is minimal (no native function
libraries, etc).  If you distribute an installer package that installs your
app and MySQL in one fell swoop, then you definitely need a commercial
license.

Note, I'm not a lawyer, just a code monkey.  However, I'm quite confident my
interpretation is very close accurate.
