This is the latest python license, which is claimed to be GPL-compatible.
Package: Python ODBC
System name: pyodbc2
Type: non-GNU

Description:
There are currently two ODBC modules for python; one of these is commercial, 
while the other is free but works only in Windows (it is included in the 
win32all package).

I've modified it to have it compile and work under Linux (with the unixODBC 
package, but I guess even iODBC might be used), but I think the driver needs 
many improvements and corrections, which I believe only a group of developers 
can do; so I'm willing to open a project for it.

The original source code is at 
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html



I haven't yet uploaded the modified version anywhere.

Other Software Required:
unixODBC or iODBC

Other Comments:
The project should be named "pyodbc", and not "pyodbc2"; I had tryed before to 
register this project, but then I stopped the registration. Looks like the 
registration process didn't free the name "pyodbc" .
