Oooh. Now that's a difficult question. I think there are no lawyers on this list, and, I'm confident that even if there was this might have to be answered on a case-by-case basis.

The real question is "are we modifying the JAR?"

* If you unzip the JAR and add a MANIFEST.MF to OSGi-fy the bundle, then you've made modification and so you may be in trouble. * If, however, you wrap the JAR (e.g. installing using the wrap: prefix into the SMX4 runtime) then AFAIK you're wrapping the JAR, not modifying it. So, you should be OK.

Does anyone else have any input on this?

Hello,

I'm working with Anderson on a project that needs the JDBC driver for DB2, which is not free software. Are there any legal restrictions for modifying
the driver's JAR in order to "osgify" it?

Thanks in advance,

Gabriel S

So...
1. Should I use the same postgress jar and just replace the "osgified"
manifest file?
2. And how about deploying it? Just to put in the deploy folder?

You have to modify the MANIFEST file of the jar to make it a bundle :
