They need to have a GPL compatible license if you distribute them

the FSF pages.

Perhaps you can get a special deal with Federico ;-) (But I personally
am not sure that what works for something as large as Qt as a business
strategy will work for a Python database adapter as well.)

Thinking of which, one other thing we might add to the comparison table
is wether commercial support is available. As far as I remember, only
mxODBC and the Sybase module have, right?
