I don't know... great? :)

Some people might hate me for actually pointing this out, but
ODE has a new, more permissive BSD-style license that doesn't
obligate you to release any of your code (but don't let that stop
you ;) ).  Even were ODE still LGPL, there are only certain
circumstances under which you'd have to consider releasing
your own code.  But it's good that you offer to do so.

IMHO, probably of even more benefit and interest to the ODE
community than your input code would be any bug-fixes or
improvements to ODE that you might make, or any interesting
insights into its practical application for your product.
