Hi, According to the Arguments document this isn't true. The API's are published under the LGPL license and are not governed by the same restrictions as the server it self.
Also regarding GPL'd software. Should you develop software to interface MyODBC or MySQL that is completely up to you. You just cannot distribute the MySQL AB licensed code with out permission from them. A quick way around this is to simply require that your clients fetch the code from mysql and install it them selves. Much like you see with many other "MySQL Friendly" commercial products.
