Why don't you read the *whole* sentence you pointed to: "For OEMs, ISVs, and VARs who distribute MySQL with their products, and do not license and distribute their source code under the GPL, MySQL provides a flexible OEM Commercial License." OK, I'll put it in bold so you can see it: "...AND DO NOT LICENSE AND DISTRIBUTE THEIR SOURCE CODE UNDER THE GPL..." So this applies only to those who *do not* distribute according to GPL. GPL and any free software and open source license *allows* for any use (including commercial use). If in doubt read the free software definition and the open source definition respectively. Now for the 1000'th time: proprietary != commercial.
I'm not arguing about use of GPL or any other FOSS license. All I said was - MySQL restricts who can use their product under GPL license (unlike most other GPL software). --
