I think this is what I was explaining to the poster. Open Source != Free. I think it also means even if he is using the software internally he should buy a copy from mySQL/Hans. Maybe I didn't make that point clear.

Again: if you use it internally, you don't have to buy license.

We tried to ship a product (not a derived product, just a linked product) with mySql.

See? You shipped it. You didn't use it internally, you gave copies to third parties. In this situation, you can buy non-gpl licensed rights to it, or GPL-license your product. Linking counts as a derivative under GPL.
