I would be worried if I were you (or Joshua Drake for that matter): does the agreement apply to commercial companies deriving products from PostgreSQL as well? Note that in the case of most projects, which are licensed under the GNU GPL, this is not an issue, because any derivative must also be GNU GPL. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
