but since mysql is included on MacOS X

I've seen this said many times.

MySQL is not included in Mac OS X.

Why do people seem to think it is?

Perhaps because it's included in OS X Server. I personally wish they'd include PostgreSQL instead, since it can be used without cost by everyone, not just developers of GPL'd software. (This statement only applies to MySQL 4.0 and later; earlier versions can be used without fear of GPV infection since the C library is licensed under the Library GPL. Even the most recent JDBC drivers are now GPL'd, although I think there's a case to be made that using them doesn't make your program a derived work.)
