I had also been wondering about this paragraph. However given the presence of a 
paragraph asking money I think that one will have precedence to the other one 
(would make sense  no ?). 

However, do you consider psycopg part of dabodev distribution (in which case 
the licensing becomes your liability (ie you cannot release under your current 
license as gpl overrides any other license ?)) or do you consider this as 
responsibility of the end user ? 

Our lawyers are adamant that GPL is a nono for what we intend to do. So if I 
create a dabo app it must be free of GPL code as I am not allowed to distribute 
our source code. 

Can dabo use some odbc interface with a better licensing scheme ? Changing db 
is no option either.

Note that the GPL was chosen to avoid proprietary adapters based on  
psycopg code. Using psycopg in a proprietary product (even bundling  
psycopg with the proprietary product) is fine as long as:

  1. psycopg is called from Python only using only the provided API  
(i.e., no linking with C code and no C modules based on it); and

  2. all the other points of the GPL are respected (you offer a copy  
of psycopg's source code, and so on.)
