not me, but I use the gpl version for commercial scopes

If both "app-db/mysql-commercial" and "app-db/mysql" are in portage the
packages may depend over a "virtual/mysql" . Virtuals are used in gentoo
tree for packages that both provide the same functionality.

Users to get a package in the tree need to open a bug and attach the an
ebuild, then a developer could take care of the bug and insert it into
the tree. However that developer will probably need a copy of a
commercial MySQL to test and work on.

As an alternative you could try to become a developer and take care
yourself of the package.
