i want to develop a program using c#.net , and this program will be used internally in our governmental clinic , our clinic provide treatment for free for the public . can i use PostgreSQL (A) freely and (b) without giving away the source code ?

As of my understanding, if you are not embedding Postgresql in your solution and then selling it, you are not infringing any copyright by using Postgresql in your architecture, and so you are entitled to use it freely (A) and without having to share your source code (B).

They can also embed it and sell it too, and not give away the source code. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. +

Even if he _was_ selling a (close source) software that embedds Postgres, this woould be allowed by the Postgres license. In a nutshell the Postgres license lets you do with it, whatever you want.
