IANAL, so I'm generally very confused about topics like this, but your question prompted me to look at a few of these licenses (or atleast their summaries, heh). While I was reading the MySQL commercial license summary [1], it says that you are required to obtain the commercial license if you are distributing your work with MySQL and your work is not licensed under the GPL, or GPL-compatible. When you go further down, one of their definitions for distributing MySQL is if your customer is required to install it in order to use your product. So it seems like you have the choice of GPL, or GPL-compatible license, or you have to "obtain" (which I assume means purchase) the MySQL commercial license. But after reading the GPL FAQ; why not just license your software under the GPL, and charge for distribution and support? You mentioned the software is highly customized for this customer, so the risk of your customer selling/distributing your software to someone would be close to worthless without your companies support. What am I missing?<br>
