You're failing to distinguish GPL from LGPL. The consensus as I recall
it was that we wanted to remove GPL-license stuff from our standard
distribution, but LGPL is okay (it's not so fundamentally incompatible
with the project's own BSD license).
I would rather see ODBC under BSD, sure, but I can live with LGPL.
