bought MySQL.
It's not that unusual for open source products to require packages which
use them to be open source also. In fact, MySQL is a bit different in
that respect in that they allow you to use it in non-open source
products (albeit by paying a fee).g

I can read C code but compilation etc. is going to be a mess (believe me...). Just curious, why don't they create some plain executable for Windows or Mac or Linux (basic stuff) and make it configurable... sort of as they did for command line utility... |

There is a beta for mac-os, don't know the status though.
Free to develop, free to deploy, free to distribute. Downside is that it
will only use 2 processing cores and 2 GB of memory.
Oracle and sql-server also have express editions, but I could not find
mac versions for them (I did not expect to find one for sql-server).

Typically, one can bypass this whole issue by not including the MySQL
installation with the package one distributes, and instead makes the
customer supply it via requirement. If your target market is "power
user" or above, it's not really a barrier to have to install MySQL
separately, and then run a couple of commands that you supply to
establish the initial credentials and databases for your application to
use.
