I want to create a website in JSP and the database will be MySQL. I will host the website on the internet. Is it required to obtain any licence to develop them on my machine?
As http://mysql.com/products/ states, MySQL database has 4 editions.
For development it is enough to use community edition, which is distributed under GPL license, which is open-source license.
You don't need anything.
No it'f free if you don't intend to sell the product including the mysql database software. Found here.

We have a group of developers and designers, we want to create a single database server to use for everyone for better collaboration. We are running windows and Linux machines. So please give me suggestions how can i build this.
You can run MySQL on either of those types of machines. Go to the MySQL website and download an installer. Also download MySQLWorkbench to do setup after installation. You should be up in a very short time.

Can someone explain to me the following:
We are running a website with a web service using MySQL and we are getting paid for it monthly. Can we use MySQL community edition for this? Can we use MySQL community edition for development of this kind of software? We are not distributing our source code anywhere.
Another example: Can you write a website using CMS using MySQL for a customer? Can you use the free edition?
I think it should be fine, as it is under the GPL license.

I am developing client server application using ASP.NET together with MySQL. This solution will be hosted using VPS and of course I will install MySQL in VPS.
This web based application is a customized solution based on my customer requirements and I have no idea whether I can use MySQL community edition or I have to pay?
Thanks in advanced.
The question (and the answer) does not apply to MySQL only, but to all GPL-licenced software.
There is nothing to pay to use a piece of GPL software. MySQL Community edition is licensed under the GPL-v2 licence.

There are so many open source utilities that we all use like maven, subversion, etc. and all these open source platforms. How do these developers make money?
I can think of four ways:
1) The open source project is a side project and have a job as their source of income
2) They have a corporate sponsor that pays the devs a salary
3) They develop their OSS project and then sell services based on that project (ie, I give away MySQL for free, and do consulting installing and maintaining MySQL for companies
4) They develop a base version of the OSS project, and then develop and sell commercial add-ons for it
