David, could you please qualify that statement so that I don't have to read a
thread about it next month at TheServerSide?
Geronimo attempts to support the J2ee Connector Architecture standard by deploying any compliant adapter. At the moment, Geronimo has no adapters of its own in the Geronimo codebase (except for a trivial testing adapter). The jdbc-wrapping adapters I am aware of are those from OpenEJB, Sun, and JBoss. To repeat, none of these is part of the Geronimo code base. Anyone wishing to deploy software is responsible for investigating the legal issues involved themselves, including license compatibility. IANAL, but as far as I know the OpenEJB licence and the LGPL allow deploying modules (such as an adapter) together with ASF licensed code such as Geronimo. Similarly, I believe the Firebird "native" jdbc-oriented connector (LGPL) can be deployed in Geronimo. I have no idea what license the sun adapter is released under.
