In general: The answer you will hear from MySQL AB when you ask them directly is to buy a commercial license if you are in doubt whether your situation is covered by the non-commercial license. This way you will also support the development of the product. Many on this list read the license as follows: only if you distribute MySQL with your commercial product you will need a commercial license per server where the product will be installed. This would mean you don't need a commercial license for running a MySQL server which is used for commercial purposes and you don't need a commercial license if your product needs a MySQL database to function, but MySQL is not distributed by you. I agree with MySQL AB that it would be nice to buy a license if you make a lot of money with their product, but the current license seems require a commercial license only if you distribute MySQL with your commercial product.
