Though, as quoted in their "Strategic Partnership" at page : http://www.datadirect.com/aboutus/strategicpart/index.ssp they demonstrate that many database and database management solutions vendors such as Progress Software and IBM (for Websphere and Websphere MQ) are embedding the DataDirect products into their products. The interesting point is that they are the ONLY licensed by Microsoft to have access to the source code and developments Microsoft does around ODBC, so they can port to UNIX and Linux the ODBC drivers developped by Microsoft.
