The Mckoi site is at http://www.mckoi.com/database, the owners are at
http://www.iglou.com/adiehl.
They menion in the FAQ that the license is GPL but 'you wish to use the
database under a different
license then contact us for further details'. Anybody feels lucky and want
to give them a call ;-)

It looks like they are leveraging the infectious nature of the GPL to force companies 
to buy Mckoi for commercial use. So much for freedom. Cheers, Ceki

Yeah I don't mind looking over it when I get a chance... I'm quite good 
on reflection stuff...

+1 on pushing for that.

Looks like ITC Officina San Bold to me. I think it's an
Adobe font. I have it somewhere on a Type Foundry CD if
you want something in type made.

RE: Project idea

2001-06-10 Thread Tal Dayan


Here are more points to consider when evaluating canidates
and when defining the project goals:

* 100% Java (of course)
* Copyright clearance (including any required third party components)
* Supports both server/multi-clients mode and embedded configuration
* Reasonable performance and scalability
* Transactional
* Flexible data storage (not too restrictive limitation on row and cell
sizes).
* Easy migration to/from popular data bases


You can find a list of existing Java data bases at
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Java/Database-Related/
(I found it following Mike Dougherty's pointers, thanks Mike).

Once we get Lucene moved over, maybe we can get the hsql project moved to
Jakarta also. It would be a huge step forward for data management on
Jakarta.
