I would like to ask some advice from the sv-hackers:

This ADOdb is licensed under:
  Released under both BSD license and Lesser GPL library license.
  Whenever there is any discrepancy between the two licenses,
  the BSD license will take precedence.

If this doesn't make any conflicts I'll ask him to put the sources 
online so I can check the license.
