When did I dodge? Afair you never specifically asked me. > > please read the last paragraph: > > http://www.postgresql.org/about/licence.html This is as liberal as it gets. Where is the problem. Except the "without fees" wording. Which is not much of a restriction. You can charge for the contents of the database that you will be creating. You can even make a binary only distro, which is not to my liking, but then if someone does not want to share his code, who cares. In line with most other open licences, you may be open to patent attacks. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
