Is this effectively the MIT license?

Funny you ask, I just pondered that question myself the other day. I  
guess de-facto the language bindings have been part of the toolkits,  
not part of BioSQL. I don't see a good reason to change that, and in  
fact from the viewpoint of maintenance they probably better remain  
part of the respective toolkits.
