It is my understanding that MySQL provides two kind of licensing (a) GPL
license for free download (b) OEM - commercial license for fee.

Question is- Can OEM develop software using MySQL, create database desiged
for MySQL. However, during distribution cirmvent commercial license by
telling customers to download MySQL GPL version?

Should this be legally allowed? Does MySQL take any action on such issues?
