COPYING.LIB is just a copy of the LGPL (I don't know why they include it
since nothing references it AFAIK).

The web site says it is all under the GPL, right at the top of the
download page at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html.  The manual
from 4.0.16 says:

  All the `MySQL'-specific source in the server, the `mysqlclient'
  library and the client, as well as the `GNU' `readline' library is
  covered by the `GNU General Public License'.
