Kathy Saunders closed DERBY-53:
-------------------------------
Assign To: Kathy Saunders
Resolution: Invalid
The license is not restricted to personal and home computers so the
documentation does not need to be updated.
> Update Derby doco regarding free DB2 Universal Driver license restrictions
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-53
> URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-53
> Project: Derby
> Type: Task
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: John Sisson
> Assignee: Kathy Saunders
> Priority: Minor
>
> In a number of places, the Derby documentation points users to the IBM DB2
> JDBC Universal Driver and in a number of places uses the words "free
> download".
> It is true that the "download" is free, but what is not obvious on the Derby
> or IBM web pages is that the free license for the IBM DB2 JDBC Universal
> Driver (downloaded via the links in the Derby documentation) restricts use to
> a Home/Portable Computer (refer to the Lic_en.txt file that accompanies the
> driver).
> ** This rules out use of the driver (without paying a license fee to IBM) on
> servers or on your company desktop. **
> I suggest that the Derby documentation be updated wherever it provides a link
> to the IBM DB2 JDBC Universal Driver, to mention that the license
> accompanying the free download has some usage restrictions.
> Some of the pages that reference the driver are:
> http://incubator.apache.org/derby/manuals/admin/hubprnt09.html
> http://incubator.apache.org/derby/derby_resources.html
> http://incubator.apache.org/derby/manuals/getstart/gspr36.html
