Re: unixODBC-GUI-Qt question + 2 patches

Honza,

As far as I am concerned its simply free software so whatever license 
works for Nick and you works for me.

I can do some work on it since you are taking an interest in it - just 
let me know what you need (aside from the two patches you have here). I 
can also add you to the project with write privs. Its all good.
