The license is referring to software that makes use of the MySQL source 
code. If you write an application that takes source from MySQL, then you 
are bound by the MySQL license.

This does not apply to creating an application that interfaces with a 
MySQL database. You can do whatever you want with your own source code. 
The MySQL license certainly does not require everyone using MySQL 
databases to release their applications as open source, that would be 
ridiculous!
