Sort of... you can't distribute a non-GPLed application without a license from MySQL. This generally covers all commercial applications. In general there are (IMHO) two free uses of mySQL: (1) distributing a fully GPL-compliant application, and (2) accessing a mySQL DB at an ISP via browser-based input (or the equivalent), so that the drivers and database are fully in the hands of the ISP and there's nothing for you to "distribute". I may be wrong, but this is my understanding of the licensing arrangements.
