So I guess it is impossible to be used in something to be released under the Apache License. I love hsqldb, and have used it some time ago. What I loved most of it is that the DB format we used was essentially an ASCII log of SQL commands, so that it was amazing for debugging. This formats gets collapsed to a set of INSERTs on close/open, so it is not as bad as it looks. I wonder if derby has something similar, I always missed this for debugging DB related issues when we moved off hsqldb.
