Hi Everyone,
Can someone please confirm that the PostgreSQL licence allow commercial distribution (with a fee charged)?
I am developing a proprietary (i.e. non-free) solution in Java, and wish to use PostgreSQL as the backend database. We wish to ship the server with our software, as well as use the JDBC driver included in our java solution.
I know the PostgreSQL licence is "based" on the BSD licence, however the line which says "without fee" rings alarm bells, even though I think it means that "you don't have ot pay anything to the PostgreSQL developers" rather than "if you distribute, you must not charge a fee"
Is it just a matter of placing the PostgreSQL licence text in the "About" box of the solution, as well as in the paper/PDF manual?
Thanks
Jonny
