we were discussing this issue on irc and came to this conclusion if you
are truely worried about their commercial license.

fork mysql gpl to OurSQL (Thanks Ben) which is also gpl but doesnt have
any claims of a commercial license.  Pure gpl no other issues.  The code
can be 100% identical but a sec -e s/My/Our/g might be handy :) 

Then everyone can have something compatible that isnt in any way
commercially licensed and would be valid under the terms of the gpl :)

Nice simple and easy work around.  As much as I personally dislike the
gpl I dislike people who choose the gpl and then do not follow it
themselves but insist everyone else should.
