PostODBC...

Hi...

	I got ahold of Julie today (maintainer of PostODBC) about including the
PostODBC stuff as part of the general distribution, so that we pretty much
had all the interfaces covered.

	Julie agreed, and uploaded a zip file of the current sources for me to
integrate into the source tree...which I did...and then *very* quickly
undid...PostODBC falls under LGPL, and therefore can't be included as part of
our source distribution without contaminating our code :(

	Does anyone know of *any* way around this?  Like, can a section of our
distribution contain software that falls under LGPL without it affecting *our*
copyright (Berkeley)?  Or does it have to remain completely seperate?  Its
effectively a seperate package, but because its wrapped in our "tar" file
for distribution, how does that affect things?
