My reading is that if you pay the money, you are not limited to only
linking to the API; IOW, you can directly link to the C code. But IANAL.

We do not distribute any of the database adapter modules except in
the Runtime Engine, and licensing issues may result in them being
removed from there, effectively killing that effort.

You should then get written confirmation from the author of psycopg2
that you can then show to your lawyers.

Sure, but right now the only work that has been done for PostgreSQL
support has been using psycopg2. If you or anyone else wishes to
contribute support for another approach, it would be welcome.
