Yeah. Bruce and I were worrying about this on the phone today. If a company is doing some work with the intent that it's a proprietary extension they can sell, no problem --- the BSD license is specifically intended to let them do that. What's bothering us is the thought that people are off in corners developing code that they think they are going to contribute back into the community code base "after it's done". Past history shows that the odds of getting such things accepted into the PG community code base are *very* bad if you didn't communicate with the community from the start of your development process. We'd like to avoid such unpleasant surprises, but how to get the word out? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
