I do not know " any accompanying software that uses the DB software"
When commercial SW uses OpenLDAP and OpenLDAP uses BDB, commercial SW
should be disclosed? What was user's obligation? I want to know about it
exactly about sleepycat License.
This SW does not link with OpenLDAP directy..
For example, SW using GPL Licese does not need to disclose source code of
SW, because it executes on seperate process. How about OpenLDAP? When SW
connect to OpenLDAP on seperate process, source code of SW should be
disclosed?
please do not care about deprecated version..
I just want to know about Sleepycat License..
Hello,
If you have legal questions about the Sleepycat License, I suggest you
speak with a lawyer who specializes in Open Source licenses. OpenLDAP
explicitly disabled linking aginst versions of BDB that use the newer
Sleepycat License so the quoted clause would not apply. I would strongly
advise you confirm the version of BDB whatever OpenLDAP you are using is
linked to and what actual version of the Sleepycat License that version of
BDB shipped with. And again as I already explained, you should not be
using BDB with OpenLDAP, regardless.
Any further questions on this topic that are not directly related to
OpenLDAP will be discarded.
Regards,
Quanah
