Hi, I'm thinking about using libdbi/libdbi-drivers in a dual-licensed free/non-free product of ours (to be exact, the product is syslog-ng which you might know) we would like to be able to distribute a commercial alternative to the currently free version.
The inconsistency that I see is: * libdbi is itself LGPLd, which is fine. * libdbi-drivers states that it is GPLd in the root of the distribution tarball, but individual drivers have an LGPL copyright header in the beginning of the source files (for instance drivers/oracle/dbd_oracle.c has LGPL header, but as I see all of them too). I understand that the license of various database libraries add further problems to the mix (e.g. libmysqlclient is GPLd, oracle is a commercial license, etc.) But assuming that we have proper commercial licenses for the required set of databases, can we use libdbi + drivers to actually use them? As I understand the header of the source file is really what matters, but I certainly don't want to do anything that is against the intentions of libdbi developers. Thanks in advance for any advice. -- Bazsi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
