How many licenses do I need for a web machine that houses a number of MySQL using clients?

In this case you should buy a license for each machine that is running
MySQL and that is "serving" your customers because you are selling
MySQL as a part of your services. 

Note that you only need one license as one license covers any number
of users/CPUs/mysqld servers on one machine!

As you are planning to use MySQL in commercial purposes, you should
consider buying support from us and this way ensure that if you run
troubles with MySQL, you will get capable help. MySQL developers are
providing the support, so the standard is extremely high.

Support options (May 2000):
  Extended email  EURO 1000
  Login           EURO 2000
  Extended Login  EURO 5000

One license is EURO 170. You can register yourself or find options
about how to pay at https://www.mysql.com/license.htmy. After you have
paid we will mail how to download the newest MySQL for Win32,
pack_isam (with pack_isam you can create fast compressed read-only
databases. Pack_isam usually compresses databases 40-70%) and send you
a receipt by snail-mail.
