The Derby project provides an embedded JDBC driver as part of the Derby codebase under ASL2 license. The network JDBC driver is the DB2 Universal JDBC driver and is part of the DB2 product family. At this time, IBM has no plans to provide the DB2 JDBC driver under the AS2 license. However, you are welcome to download it from the IBM site as a binary pacakge and use it as you choose. Within the next 4-6 weeks, IBM will add terms to the license so you will be able to redistribute it without charge.Is it planned that the JDBC driver (+ source code) will be under the same licence (ASL2) as the main Derby codebase?

Thanks for clarifying the redistribution issue - that goes a long way to help. However, there may be a few people who don't wish to or may be unable to redistribute it - the ASF is likely to be one of those.
Is there anything (e.g. IP constraints on the protocol) that would hinder the independent development of a alternative, open source, network driver?
