Hey guys, Thanks for Elephant. I am just starting to use it. I have a question regarding the following :
Section "9.4 Data Store Licensing Considerations" from the manual states the following "... In most interpretations of the license, this includes a requirement to make code available for the entirety of any publicly visible website that is based on Berkeley DB." This was rather disturbing (to me) so I read the license documentation from the oracle site and it is quite ambiguous about above stated point. A little bit more googleling and I found an interview with Sleepycat President and CEO, Michael Olson from 2001 here : http://www.winterspeak.com/columns/102901.html I quote him "Building a Web service on top of Berkeley DB and making it available via HTTP doesn't require payment or release of code." Is Oracle is still using the Sleepycat licence or have they changed it ? I was planning to build a website with a berkeley db backend using Elephant. Is this not recommended due to licensing issues ? This would be a commercial website and I would not want to release the code. I am unclear and would appreciate any suggestions regarding this. thanks, Abhijit Rao (quasi) _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
