Are you sure that you really want to ship MyODBC under the GPL
and not the LGPL ? ODBC drivers have to be linked against
something in order to work and the GPL infects all those
programs... some of which probably come with a non-GPL compatible license.

I tend to agree. In my mind there seems to be some ambiguity when a User 
  (not a developer) opts to have an application dynamically link against 
a share library. The LGPL would remove the ambiguity.

Please clarify your position on this or, better yet, switch the license 
to LGPL.
