But it is true that while there reads "You may also distribute the programs with your applications to your customers" there reads also "Prior to distributing the programs you shall require your end users to execute an agreement binding them to terms consistent with those contained in this section and the sections of this agreement entitled "License Rights," "Ownership and Restrictions," "Export," "Disclaimer of Warranties and Exclusive Remedies," "No Technical Support," "End of Agreement," "Relationship Between the Parties," and "Open Source." You must also include a provision stating that your end users shall have no right to distribute the programs, and a provision specifying us as a third party beneficiary of the agreement. You are responsible for obtaining these agreements with your end users. " Thus at least that version of odbc14.jar is allowed to deliver together with the software but user should be forced to answer "Yes" before the first use. Check box somewhere in the DB Query plugin user interface "I accept Oracle odbc driver license" with default value "No" might be enough. -Jukka Rahkonen- -Jukka Rahkonen- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
