In-house use cannot violate the GPL. The GPL requires that source be made
available without further restrictions, but only to those to whom the app is
distributed. The GPL does not impose any requirement for distribution of the
app. It seems to me that MySQL AB tries to game people's misunderstanding of
this, in order to lay claim to license fees for in-house projects.
