you are highly welcome to implement odbc things for kannel ;)

but I can't undestand what is the problem with Kannel license (Apache/BSD 
like) and mysqlclient (GPL)?

see here:
http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html

Quote:
For those developing open source applications, the Open Source License allows 
you to offer your software under an open source / free software license to 
all who wish to use, modify, and distribute it freely. The Open Source 
License allows you to use the software at no charge under the condition that 
if you use MySQL in an application you redistribute, the complete source code 
for your application must be available and freely redistributable under 
reasonable conditions. MySQL AB bases its interpretation of the GPL on the 
Free Software Foundation's Frequently Asked Questions. For more information 
on MySQL's Open Source License, click here.

that is applicable for kannel project (kannel.org). But if a company will sale 
kannel based product as closed source and with mysql support , then it's fair 
to buy Commercial license (because a company makes money, none software is 
for free!)...
