One can never change the license just by changing the DBI connect
string, you could at most generate a license conflict.

One can always use the LGPL MySQL 3 libraries to talk to MySQL 4.

Perl is compiled and linked at execution time, therefore you can never
run into the distribute linked binaries clause.

Even if your customers directly use and link the MySQL libraries on
their webhost they would most likely not need to distribute the
resulting binary.

So your 'real world cases' resolve to utter nonsense.
