The subject of this discussion (FreeTDS) apparently only comes in static

Well, the one I downloaded a couple of days ago is a .so, and I'm not
linking to that anyway, but to libodbc.so (part of unixODBC). The FreeTDS
lib must be dynamically loaded by unixODBC, so given that the two are
like hand in glove, it's difficult to see how they would change it to
a .a.
If it's a .so, and you are using a wrapper library, I think it should be
fine license-wise. But there is still the issue of making phobos
dependent on a not-so-common lib (not everyone has unixODBC installed on
their system).
