Here is one reasonable licensing model:
http://www.mysql.com/Manual_chapter/manual_Licensing_and_Support.html
Some excerpts:
"Basically, our licensing policy is as follows:
For normal internal use, MySQL generally costs nothing. You do not have
to pay us if you do not want to.
A license is required if:
--You sell the MySQL server directly or as a part of
another product or service
--You charge for installing and maintaining a MySQL server
at some client site
--You include MySQL in a distribution that is non redistributable
and you charge for some part of that distribution
...
If you use MySQL in a commercial context such that you profit by its
use, we ask that you further the development of MySQL by purchasing some
level of support. We feel that if MySQL helps your business, it is
reasonable to ask that you help MySQL. (Otherwise, if you ask us support
questions, you are not only using for free something into which we've
put a lot a work, you're asking us to provide free support, too.)
