If your application merely uses (soft link) the mysql library, then you
should only be bound to the free-pascal part license. (but users of
your app will have to download and install mysql themself) And this is
only if the actual pascal part does not contain any mysql owned material.
If you link static or plan to redistribute mysql libraries with your
app, then you are bound to both licenses.
