Secondly, the sqlite3, oracle and pgsql binaries do build, against the current official binaries. Which modules may we distribute under the AL from w.a.o/dist/apr/binaries/win32/? (I have no plan to distribute the binary of the client itself, only the apr_dbd_*-1.dll's bound to them).
My analysis indiciates that there is nothing noxious in the Oracle Instant Client license which would encumber us from distributing a binding to it, provided that we do not ship it ourselves. GPL packagers might have their own concerns with the license. http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/popup-license/instant_client_lic.html The SQLite libraries are Public Domain. In fact it appears we could ship those drivers (as shipped by sqlite.org, I don't really desire to rebuild this code unless we believe its necessary). The question is, should we? The PostgreSQL libraries are BSD licensed. And again it appears we could ship those drivers (again from their binary distribution) for the win32 binary distribution, if we saw a need. But I'd restrict this to the client driver only, not the entire PostgreSQL distribution. Again, the question would be, should we? In any case, there is nothing stopping us from shipping these three driver connectors that I can find. Thoughts or comments? Bill
