No, that is not true. You will only need to buy a MySQL license if your
script uses PHP's MySQL 4.x support (ie, linking to libmysql 4.x), you
distribute your script AND you do not want to distribute your set of
script under the GPL license (but under for example the BSD license or a
commerical license).
