If Oracle doesn't eat your rear for lunch, it would only be because you hadn't annoyed them sufficiently for them to bother. Under the terms of the license agreement that you presumably clicked through, you gave up your rights to publish anything they don't like. Do a little Google research. For instance http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/01/04/16/010416opfoster.html The impression I get is that if you are willing to spend lots of $$ you could *maybe* win the case, if you can still find a judge who thinks that the public good outweighs private contract law (good luck, with the Republicans in office). Do you have a larger budget for legal issues than Oracle does? If so, step right up. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
