License The py2exe project itself is MIT licensed.
But if you're only using it to compile your own non-gpl code, you don't have to release your own code.
Py2exe itself, then you MAY need to release your code under the GPL.

GPL 3 is many things, and one of them.
I don't know enough about the GPL v2 to give these things (and more), they more than doubled the length of the GPL.
But I think you're talking about the GPL v2 and GPL v3.

As far as the GPL goes, I don't think there is a problem with this.

With C (GPL-only), that is not a problem.

I want to sell a commercial software. It has 3 parts:
EXE Program 1: - links to GPL
EXE Program 2: - Has no GPL code.
EXE Program 3: - Has no GPL code.
My question is, can I only open source Program 1, and not Program 2 and Program 3?

In your case, I think you may only link to (and/or distribute) libmysqlclient... .

Is GPL 2, not LGPL, (which would argueable be more in line with it being a library).

Web2py is listed under GNU GPL v2.0 so my question is:

This does not restrict you from including the Work or any part of the Work inside a larger software distribution that itself is being sold .
Section 5.d of the Code Project Open License :
You agree not to sell, lease, or rent any part of the Work .
