Well, you are rigth, and I think M.A. Lemburg has done a very good work, and
it is just and OK to pay for his work. (And yes, I know nothing in for free
in this life, I have my years and I know). So don't misunderstand my think,
I'm not criticizing M.A. Lemburg, I believe he is a Python guru and he is in
my Mount Olympus. I simply think that a simple no-charge entry-level odbc
adapter can help the Zope diffusion in Window world: is it a so strange
opinion?
