Oops I didn't check it. I think it's better to use famous "Lorem
Ipsum" for text samples.
Actually it seems a "messy license" text.

No problem it was just an idea.

I wouldn't mix binaries and sources.

It means that you can't compile there.

I think it's better to provide a zip with all the samples inside.

Is there anyone in charge for odbc? If not I'll check it.
