Hello,
I have a question about "psycopg and the GPL" License.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/psycopg2/2.0.5.1/
Is it correct in the following interpretations?
> As a special exception, specific permission is granted for the GPLed code in
> this distribition to be linked to OpenSSL and PostgreSQL libpq without invoking
> GPL clause 2(b).
If I distribute psycopg and to be linked PostgreSQL libpq,
I may distribute libpq under terms of my choice?
> Note that the GPL was chosen to avoid proprietary adapters based on psycopg
> code. Using psycopg in a proprietary product (even bundling psycopg with the
> proprietary product) is fine as long as:
>
> 1. psycopg is called from Python only using only the provided API
> (i.e., no linking with C code and no C modules based on it); and
>

"all the other points of the GPL" means "excepting GPL clause 2(b)"?
As long as respect 1. and 2. , i may distribute X(X is linked psycopg)
under terms of my choice?
