Absolutely. This has been done. For example, GNU bison was derived many years ago from Berkeley yacc. You can go further and make a non-free MyPostgresql. Use Postgres code in a completely proprietary project if you like. The X11 license places far fewer restrictions on code than does the GPL. Works derived from X11-licensed code do not have to be free. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
