On a side note, MySQL is GPL licensed and cannot simply be taken.  The
commercially licensed version is owned by Oracle / Sun, but the GPL
code is quite free to be hacked and released and use according to the
GPL.  Due to the idiocy of GPL licensing the connection libs, there
are issues with integrating it with non-GPL software, but it is most
certainly not taken.

I'm no MySQL fan, just wanted to clear that point up.
