Indeed.  Association of MySQL(tm) with BSE is the sort of thing that
the owners of the trademark would doubtless consider to fall into the
set of things that are detrimental, harmful, and damaging.

   "The use must not be detrimental, i.e., harmful or damaging, to the
   value of any of the MySQL Marks, or to MySQL AB, its brand
   integrity, reputation or goodwill"

Remmber also that...

   "When using any MySQL AB Mark, you should use the "tm" symbol. This
   symbol provides notice to third parties of MySQL AB's rights in its
   Marks."

Furthermore, there is a requirement beyond that...  The following
attribution statement must be used in all material referencing the
MySQL AB Marks:

  "[Insert the MySQL Marks that appears in that particular piece] is a
  registered trademark of MySQL AB in the United States, the European
  Union and other countries."

Lest they should decide to sue me for improper attribution, I'll make
sure I attribute things properly.  (And I rather think that everyone
else that discusses it should be expected to attribute it properly...
If that seems annoying and anal-retentive, well, yes, I'm trying to
make it annoying...)

MySQL is a registered trademark of MySQL AB in the United States, the
European Union and other countries.
