PHP and MySQL: unclear future

PHP and MySQL seem to have their lives apart. Recent change in MySQL's drivers licensing policy to GPL, and PHP using a BSD license, make it apparently ilegal to use MySQL from PHP. Moreover the new PHP5 has SQLite enabled by default, which seems to be lighter and faster (they say twice) than MySQL or PostgreSQL. And talking about PostgreSQL, I've read there is at least a good candidate for a Win32 install. Now that installing an Apache server with PHP and MySQL is so easy (less than 3 minutes) under Win32 with the superb AppServ we can start playing with the big brother too even if we dont have linux installed.
