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.
