first comment : * a special directory with ./contrib/gpl ?
second comment : * I don't really understand your position regarding the GNU General Public License. The GPL is offering multiple advantages for a big project and software like PostgreSQL. For example : * Contribution back to the main tree more easy if redistribution. (like HP and Samba team are doing, copyright holder remains samba team) * More easy to get a RF (Royalty Free) license from a patent owner. (this is guarantee for him that it will not go back to proprietary software where it's not a RF license) (like the UB-Trees) * A possible bigger audience. Dual licensing is also an alternative but could be a real mess. It's just idea. alx On Thu, 18 Apr 2002, Justin Clift wrote: > Hi Bruce, > > Did we reach an opinion as to whether we'll include GPL'd code? > > My vote is to not include this code, as it just muddies the water with > PostgreSQL being BSD based. > > :-) > > Regards and best wishes, > > Justin Clift > > Andreas Scherbaum wrote: > > > > Justin Clift wrote: > > > > > > Hi Bruce, > > > > > > Haven't looked at the code, but there's no license with it. > > > > > > Andreas, are you cool with having the same License as PostgreSQL for it > > > (BSD license)? > > > > > > :-) > > > > > > Regards and best wishes, > > > > > > Justin Clift > > > > > > Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > > > > > > Can someone comment on this?
