ok...unixODBC say's this:
* All programs are GPL. *
* All libs are LGPL
so..based on what your saying, the libs could go into main, but the programs
would be non-free...(or just not distributed)...
and the source could go into main....since the interreaction of the gpl and
qpl is in the .deb form...and not the source form.
that sound logical?
