Surely the lesson from this debate is what it might cost if you and
MySQL were paying lawyers and expert witnesses to fight over it.

I don't disagree with your interpretation of the MySQL license but why
risk a costly legal battle with MySQL AB when there are open source
and free closed source alternatives that are at least as good as
MySQL?
