OK after an initial bit of panic on this subject and some subsequent digging around, I'm happy to let the list know that the current CVS version of pymssql is, and that an upcoming version 8 of pymssql will be licensed LGPL:

Another option to consider for non-GPL MSSQL acess is the pyodbc project:
http://pyodbc.sourceforge.net/
and the venerable mxODBC project, although this may be problematic with datetime vs. mxDate objects:

If you use GPL libraries and you distribute your software, your software
must also be GPL. Maybe you are thinking about LGPL which does allow
libraries to be distributed with proprietary software. See
