Is this true? this page leads to
<http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html>, which says:

"""
This licensing incompatibility applies only when some Apache project
software becomes a derivative work of some GPLv3 software, because
then the Apache software would have to be distributed under GPLv3.
This would be incompatible with ASF's requirement that all Apache
software must be distributed under the Apache License 2.0.
"""

Is your work a "derivative" of psycopg, or it merely uses psycopg? If
you only want to use it you should be fine.

P.S. certain Postgres mailing list don't tolerate cross-posting. I
don't know about pgsql-general, but I would avoid it anyway.
