It's GPL'd, and besides, the BDB backend wasn't stable enough until around
3.23.34, and InnoDB didn't exist until 3.23.34
3.23 wasn't declared stable until Jan, 2001 according to mysql's news
releases.

MySQL 4.0 is what has libmysqld anyway. It's a new feature of 4.0 to
support an embedded server.
