This debate is pretty rediculous. The very idea that somehow using MySQL makes you tied up in some kind of legal space is just mind boggling. Almost like debating the Microsoft Windows EULA. As if you'd dump Windows (as a HLCodder) purely because you don't agree with terms and conditions.
Consider that if there were ANY kind of issue with MySQL and code access/rights/use, then a million web sites which use MySQL would be in a bind. A LOT of web sites use MySQL as their root DB. For example like every site running the VBulletin bulletin board software. If this were a real issue, then MySQL would be sitting on a legalistic gold/land mine because of all the web systems running off LAMP (Linux+Apache+MySQL+Perl|PHP).
