There was an interesting article recently about the BSD licensing used by PostgreSQL Inc. (pgsql.com) Their strategy is to develop software and market it commercially for a 24 month period. After that, they release it under a BSD license, which is wide-open for even for competing commercial usages. Most recent example being a DB Replication Server. I wish I could find that article URL. Maybe it was just a press release.
I am a big fan of postgresql for other reasons, it is a far more sophisitcated database. I am an old SQL hack from big Unix days, and I could not suffer under mySQL's simple implementation. It may have gotten better in the last few years, but I think postgres has moved forward too. If you want referential integrity, inner and outer joins, etc, postgres is the ticket. I think mySQL has caught on for people with only causual familiarity with SQL, and is a little simpler to setup and understand. SQL can be a goofy language to get used to, that's for sure.
