I am part of an organization that is beginning to write commercial
applications for various Portals (Liferay, etc.). We would like to
be
able to deploy PostGresQL as the lightweight database for the
Portal to
connect to. Our request for approval to our Legal Department has
stalled due to the following language in one of the files:
Seems like the easy solution is to rip out the AIX files in your
server deployments ... or are you actually intending to support AIX?
AIX itself now offers the functions found in src/backend/port/
dynloader/aix.c so I think that file may be obsolete as of (at least
AIX 5.3).
aix.c was required long ago because AIX did not offer the popular
dlopen(), dlsym(), dlclose(), and dlerror() functions - you had to
write them yourself.
