Is that the same as the source tarball? Looks to me as if that's here:
https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.7/mysql-5.7.10.tar.gz
Litte-Datamaskin:~$ cd /tmp
Litte-Datamaskin:/tmp$ wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.7/mysql-5.7.10.tar.gz
[...]
Litte-Datamaskin:/tmp$ tar xzf mysql-5.7.10.tar.gz
Litte-Datamaskin:/tmp$ cd mysql-5.7.10
Litte-Datamaskin:/tmp/mysql-5.7.10$
The COPYING file has a copy of GPLv2.
README says MySQL Server 5.7 is GPLv2 with the additional licence
permission that MySQL client libraries may be used to create derivative
works with _either_ GPLv2-compatible code _or_ with code under any of 28
open-source licences listed on
http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/ .

Really? If you cannot understand dual-licening and granting of
additional licensing permissions, this open source thing may not be for
you.
