I can find license statements for Postgres (BSD) MySQL (GPL) and
sqlite (Public Domain) but I don't see a quick link to the same for
ODBC.  What are the license terms for ODBC and how is it linked to
Octave?  Simply using an automatic way of generating the interface
code (by using SWIG) doesn't allow you to sidestep the terms of the
GPL.
