in my license for FreeTDS if any? Sorry, I'm really bad with licenses and 
would appreciate any help.

Why don't you dynamically link to it? I think that you are on dangerous ground
by statically linking, because the functionality your gem is presenting to the
rest of the world, is the functionality provided by freetds and nothing more,
so you would end up being considered a derivative work.

IANAL
