Check out MariaDB
MariaDB is a direct fork of mysql (5.1), by the same creator.
plus it has some nice enhancements and speed improvements.
Its completely free and open source, and is going to stay that way thanks to the Open database alliance.
This decision was made, after all the problems surrounding Oracle (who purchased Sun)and beating up all the open source projects under its wing...
MariaDB definitely looks like the future.
