Not at all.. MySQL is GPL. This means that if you redistribute it, or change it you must also provide the sourcecode.
Edit so for clarity, as long as you don’t change MySQL or give it to your clients as part of a bigger package you are fine. For a hosted webapp there will be no problems for instance.
