Ok, first postgresql.jar is covered by the same license as PostgreSQL.
As for removing files from the .jar, I see no problem there.
As for putting them in igis.jar, I see no problem there. In fact, that
is one solution to some applet related problems with jar files.

What is the copyright status of postgresql.jar. Is it legal to modify
it? I'm participant of internet GIS project written in java using
postgres JDBC driver. It's three-tier application, so serwer
communicates with database using JDBC and applet communicates with
serwer via RMI. My problem is that applet uses geometric types from
driver and as for copyrights I had to include whole jar into applet
archive tag.
So my question is:
Can I remove unrequired files from postgresql.jar?
or
Can i copy required files (package postgresql.geometric.*) into my
igis.jar?
best regards
