Re: Sourceforge on Oracle? (WAY OT) - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi Ned,

(Welcome back.  :)  )

Here's an interesting thought... wonder who has the latest copy of the
SF project code?  How about setting up a NEW project for Sourceforge,
call it "Alexia" for example, on Sourceforge.

Now, I wonder what the moral/legal ramifications would be if they found
out then took it down?  (As they would)

;)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
