I thought that too. It definitely says that its distributed under the GPL on the web site. This was one the reasons I downloaded it!

So, you should choose SapDB 7.3 or 7.4 due License issues. 7.3 ands 7.4 are GPL/LGPL, since 7.5 aka MaxDB LGPL is dropped, so you are forced to pay for Userlicences. Refer to http://www.mysql.com We are thinking about to fork the SapDB 7.3/7.4 Brances to continue in GPL/LGPL. mfG J�rgen automatiX Linux Support Crew - -- J�rgen Sauer - AutomatiX GmbH, +49-4209-4699, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** ** Das Linux Systemhaus - Service - Support - Server - L�sungen ** ** http://www.automatix.de ICQ: #344389676 ** -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/3cjVW7UKI9EqarERAn3DAJ9Z7J+gSVYRc+l+tTKuV5hbgnq15gCfZsVw hoX59ewH2XefYSMIn5rNGGY= =TMeG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
