http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html http://www.postgresql.org/licence.html They look very similar to me. What's the difference? Also, I'm a little confused. If you mix some postgresql-licensed code with some (for example) gpl-licensed code, is the end result: (a) GPL, since that's the more restrictive of the two; or (b) The gpl code is still gpl, and the postgresql code is still postgresql-licensed? "b" makes more sense to me, since I don't see how you can "relicense" the code if it's not yours. Also, can you license code at all if it isn't yours? I would assume you would have to make changes and license the changes you made, and distribute it along with the postgresql-licensed code.
