The iODBC project is distributed under the LGPL and/or BSD License, and is maintained and supported by [http://uda.openlinksw.com/ OpenLink Software]. [[Apple Computer|Apple]] chose to bundle iODBC into [[Mac OS X]] and [[Apple Darwin|Darwin]], starting with Darwin 6.0 and [[Mac OS X v10.2]]. iODBC has been ported to several other operating systems and hardware platforms, including [[Mac OS 9]], [[Linux]] (x86, [[Itanium]], [[DEC Alpha|Alpha]], [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]], and [[StrongArm]]), [[Solaris Operating Environment|Solaris]] ([[SPARC]] & x86), [[AIX operating system|AIX]], [[HP-UX]] (PA-RISC & Itanium), [[Compaq]] [[Tru64]], [[Digital UNIX]], [[Dynix]], Generic UNIX 5.4, [[FreeBSD]], [[Data General|DG]]-UX, and [[OpenVMS]].
