The typical problem is the reverse -- someone with a non-GPL program wants to use a GPL library. The Oracle license does not apply to us simply by linking with Oracle, and we are not making an attempt to apply the GPL to Oracle, and thus not raising a stink with them. So, basically, no problems here. I can think of two ways to solve this connection issue, first, we can see if MySQL and PostgreSQL would allow us to have a single connection shared by multiple processes. I have a funny feeling this won't work, though. So the second thing I'm thinking is this: db_connect() and db_preconnect(). For Oracle, all the logic can be in preconnect, which we'll call before the fork. For everyone else, we'll stub out preconnect and put the logic into connect. Aaron --
