I know a story of a friend of mine that started developping a commercial aplication using MySQL and tried to get an answer from them about the pricing and never got a response (if he used the wrong channels, don't know).

In the meantime he discovered PostgresSQL and the final version used it instead, but for some time he decided that if they didn't answer was because they didn't care (he was doing it solo, and his application is not a "popular" application).
