Yes, which is a constant cause of debate when used with a driver, for
example:
- The discussions that have cropped up yet again a week or two back on
the ODBC mailing list.
- The general Open Source community's annoyance at MySQL GPL'ing their
drivers precisely because they want people to pay for the non-GPL licence.

You are expecting the PostgreSQL Community to not favour it's own driver
on it's own website over one maintained by a third party company? Thats
not at all ridiculous.
I can just imagine what you would say if I tried to push an EDB product
over an community one *on the community website*.

Not at all. Hiroshi Saito and Hiroshi Inoue have been doing an excellent
job on psqlODBC over the last year or more.
