I think this is not the issue for most business owners. If something
even smells like it might end up in a court of law, they're not going to
touch it with the proverbial 10-foot pole. Especially something as
interchangeable as inexpensive database software. Regardess of how
outlandish MySQL's interpretation of the GPL might be, any sane
businessperson would try to conform to their intent (by paying
reasonable commercial licensing or just avoiding it altogether) rather
than try to aruge it in court.
