Unfortunatelly you are wrong. You can not link mysql client libraries in your application if it's not GPL-licensed - for example PHP: right now PHP includes it's own old version of libmysql and thus not in violation but if you'll link PHP and last version of libmysql from MySQL 4.1.x you'll be in violation of GPL. I do not think it was intent to make PHP unable to use recent versions of libmysql but that's what we have now!
