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?

"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?
