There may be a misunderstanding about copyrights in this project. I do not claim to be an expert, but I am writing this to raise a flag to the maintainers who may want to hire legal advice.
The people who contribute source code hold the copyright. I understand that there is a "works for hire" clause which may indicate that the project holds the copyright for contributed works, however it appears to require a written agreement between the parties (project and contributor), which of course was not done in my case (and probably everyone else too). In my case, any software I contributed, I hold the copyright, but I release it under the version of the hsqldb license at the time I uploaded the files. If you do not like this arrangement, then the easy answer is to not use any code I uploaded. And lastly, I have investigated more about licenses and decided not to contribute to BSD style projects. So I will no longer contribute to hsqldb. I wish you luck on your project and I have enjoyed the time spent here. -Clay _______________________________________________ hsqldb-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hsqldb-developers
