Don't forget: Commercial -> Apache Tomcat (ASF licence, that permits commercial, and is compatible with GPL) -> GPL driver -> MaxDB
and Commercial -> JBoss (LGPL, that permits commercial, and is compatible with GPL) -> GPL driver -> MaxDB And, of course, what if people are not distributing the database, but the customer want's to use MaxDB with the commercial software? GPL license talks about "distributing" the software, but people are't doing this. What if the people ditribute own software, but not MaxDB neither drivers? Where are the '"freedom" as in speech'? Ok, you are free ONLY if you don't have freedom to choice the license you want. Can someone clarifies this (I think the problem is bigger than just MaxDB licensing. May be whe should contact FSF to clarify this).
