Hi,

We would like to bundle the JDBC driver for postgres in a commercial product.

However I do not see on your web site the proper licence to embed in our sofware.

Could you give us more informations ?

Regards.

The license is the BSD license, you are free to embed it in your
software.

I'm pretty sure all you need to do is include that notice with your

It is BSD licensed like the rest of the PostgreSQL code.  See the
license file that comes with PostgreSQL.  The only limitation is that
you not sue us, basically.
