Ack, Sybase has since totally changed their site around, you can't even 
find this thing in a search and the old page 
http://www.sybase.com/products/TDSfunctionalSpecForm.html no longer works.

IANAL, I have no idea what is considered acceptable use of a 
copyrighted work with no documented copyright grant.  I believe it 
defaults to "all rights reserved" for the copyright holder.  The EULA 
formerly attached to it had an NDA clause, so I dunno...which meant it 
could be used in binary-only programs, but it was unclear whether source 
code would be considered 'disclosure'.  We never did get confirmation.  
Not sure if the Sybase guys are still on the list, but it'd be a good 
time to speak up if so.
