A good one is distributed with the Postgres source code, under the BSD
license. My experience was that at least one other driver (postODBC?)
was not as mature at the time, though I recently heard a good report. A
lot must have been added in the meantime...

The primary WIN32 developer/maintainer for psqlODBC is Byron Nikolaidis
who is copied on this message. A few of us have helped with the
Linux/Unix port of this code, and the source code currently supports
both Linux and WIN32.
I'm not certain of the licensing ramifications, but istm that one may be
able to convert BSD to GPL. But others will have more experience on that
issue.
