GPL closed source web application?

To write a project in Java EE, you need MySQL on the server side, neo4j - they are under the GPL. On the client side for Android, iOS, Windows platforms - SDL2, which is under zlib, at the same time emscripten - under mit
zlib and mit do not require opening the source code, but with the GPL, as far as I know, not everything is so simple.

  • Does the GPL require all source code to be open source, or can only parts of it be?
  • If I don't want to open source (neither from the client side nor from the back end) then do I have to buy a commercial license for basic use of MySQL?
  • What would it be like to provide the source code partially, or with errors, so that "some" could not collect it all and profit from it

Simple use of MySQL does not require disclosure of source code .
With neo4j, everything is a little more complicated , but the solution is immediately offered - to interact with neo4j via HTTP REST.
