Prior versions were (/are) LGPL.
I don't think that matters. Your program links against libodbc.dylib (the
open source iODBC stuff Apple's included since Jaguar), and therefore
doesn't link against MyODBC. As a result, your program doesn't depend on
("isn't a derivative work" of) MyODBC, and therefore doesn't have to be
GPLed.
This also means you can't distribute MyODBC yourself. That's not necessarily
a problem, as there are some nicely packaged distributions out there
already.
Of course like Karl IANAL.
Cheers,
Chris
