If you are selling them a license to run your software package, couldn't you just purchase the MySQL license and include the cost of it in the price of your product? Unless your product is selling for $49.99, which I doubt.
Or give them your product for free (open source it) and sell them the support contract. No license required.:)
True, grandmothers do not need the "flexibility" offered by linux. But if all they are doing is email, IM, and downloading pictures off of a camera it sure is a much less expensive option than an iMac. Once they have linux installed by their grandson, it will run itself.

Maybe I'm just a cheap bastard though.
