Chris,
Can you define "proprietary" please?
It will be shipped with .so files?
The source will be there but the license says we can't change it?
it seems pretty obvious to me. the sybase people have written a new
driver which is being released in binary only form (hence proprietary)
and also they have written a DBD for it which they will (or have) put on
cpan. as usual the DBD will be open source and free. i would expect the
binary lib to downloadable but useless without a sybase server which is
commercial. the confusion is from not clearly describing the binary lib
vs the perl/cpan DBD module as separate entities.
