Providing source and license type aren't the same thing. Distribute your app with psycopg (or some people would say merely have your app require it) and all of a sudden your whole app is GPL. It is this viral nature of GPL that has people concerned, as it doesn't just extend to the code in question but to other linked code as well. Best to keep it clean and just use 100% free as in freedom code if you can help it. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/%(messageid)s
