Right, that direction is fine, it's the other way around that's problematic (because adding some BSD code adds no new restrictions on what users can do with an overall-LGPL project, whereas having some LGPL components in a supposedly BSD project does limit what they can do with it). I don't see any reason why you shouldn't include those PG autoconf macros in psqlodbc. You just need to document that they have a BSD license, in case someone wants to use them by themselves. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
