MySQL AB offers either a paid commercial license or an open source license, so the only way not to pay for one for a closed-source, proprietary application is if it's not a derivative application (although the company claims that the necessity for the installation of the MySQL server constitutes a derivative application).

MySQL is undergoing an open review of its licensing policy, could affect proprietary software like vBulletin and whatnot. In fact, it could upset a whole lot of commerce done on the Internet that takes MySQL databases for granted.

looks like they finally came up with an exception for PHP, which should ameliorate the bundled library issue. Then again, enabling libmysql to work with PHP is almost as simple as installing PHP itself
