1) oursql is and will likely always be a wrapper around the mysql-provided client connectors. I've been toying around with the idea of releasing a separate project for a pure-python mysql wrapper. There are at least two of those that exist that I know of, anyway.
2) mysql has a license exception for code that uses the client connectors; as long as it's a FOSS license, code that wraps the connectors can use whatever license it likes without the GPL infecting it. http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/

Status in oursql python bindings for mysql: Won't Fix

Bug description:
It would be great if this were a pure python adapter. The MySQL client code is GPL/Commercial. While this adapter is BSD, by incorporating GPL-ed code, it's "infected" by the GPL, as is the entire project using it.
