Thread: CLDC implementation of the pgsql driver.

Hi All,

We would like to hookup our embedded devices to a database connected to
the network. In order for this to succeed we need to change the driver
in some places to allow for the use of the CLDC instead of J2ME java.
Looking at the source it doesn't seem to much to do, but i am concerned
about the commercial usage. When we change the implementation to a cldc
implementation, are we allowed to use this driver for commercial usage?
and if so are we allowed to distribute the binary classes as part of our
product free of charge?

Thanks in advance,

Richard Meester

Hi Richard,

Not as part of the core team or anything like that, but with the
Apache/BSD style license, you are free to basically do whatever you want
with the source code etc. as long as you obey the license (i.e.
redistribute the license, sources if altered etc.)

There's certainly no commercial impedance to deal with though. Good luck
with the CLDC thing, one suggestion is to move everything to o.p.* package
naming (saves a couple of bytes ;)

Cheers,
Joe

Oops, not even the sources if you don't want.

Cheers,

Richard,

As far as I know the license allows you to do both.
