Ahh. Life in the land of the free ;o) Are the drivers intended as
a protection mechanism for copyright? I don't imagine that would be the
case, so it's not covered by DCMA.

I was considering doing the same thing in my last job, but the demo java
client decided our database was too old, which I figured was probably 
the opinion of the driver.
