I don't think one can distribute mysql within a software package w/o 
buying a commercial license to do so. Check out their licensing on their 
website here:

"When your application is not licensed under either the GPL-compatible 
Free Software License as defined by the Free Software Foundation or 
approved by OSI, and you intend to or you may distribute MySQL software, 
you must first obtain a commercial license to the MySQL product."
