Hi, I am sure this is not the best place to ask this, but I cannot seem to figure out where else to ask. I am looking into PostgreSQL for use in a commerical package. Is there a charge for using PostgreSQL this way, and if so, how much does it cost? Thanks, Glenn

There is no charge for using PostgreSQL in any way, shape or form...the copyright falls under Berkeley style, which basically says use to your hearts content, just leave this copyright intact...

Wash your mouth out with soap, then use steel wool...PostgreSQL was *never* built under the GPL and never will be. Blasphemer!!

Blasphemer!! Pardon this ignorant soul, but why so much GNU bashing? I understand that PostgreSQL choose a different licensing method, and that it is a good one, but GNU's not really that bad. I mean how many times do you think the PostgreSQL source has been compiled by GNU compilers? ...james

I mean how many times do you think the > PostgreSQL source has been compiled by GNU compilers? Not GNU bashing, GPL bashing. *Big* difference, in some of our minds. There is a reason that Netscape didn't put themselves under GPL when they went OpenSource...its good for everyone *but* the developer themselves... I run FreeBSD at home for many reasons...one of which is that it doesn't fall under GPL, unlike some of our brethren out there...
