Sorry, this is incorrect. You may use it in a commercial setting without a commercial license in a non-GPL'd application if you do not redistribute the MySQL software. In other words, if the customer of your application downloads and installs MySQL herself, then she is able to use MySQL to power the application regardless, without a commercial license and without requiring the application to be GPL'd.Without going into a whole argument...technically MySQL is not free for commercial use. If you use MySQL in a commercial setting, internal or external, without purchasing a commercial license, you may do so only if the application that uses MySQL is also GPL (http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html). This is something that many companies (and developers) would prefer to avoid, for various reasons. PostgreSQL has no such requirement as it is distributed under the BSD license.
