A jTDS to C# port would be cool, but take care of the license. It's the original BSD license and therefor incompatible with the GPL, because of this: 3. advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by CDS Networks, Inc. see: http://jtds.sourceforge.net/license.html If the port is changed enough, not to contain _any_ old code, would it still work? ;-) Johannes _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
