Thread: UltraSQL for Windows released
Hiyas, Just noticed on the NuSphere site that it says UltraSQL for Windows is now available: http://www.nusphere.com/products/#UltraSQL Did that happen some time ago and I missed it, or is that something new? Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
Does anyone have a contact person over there they could contact to find out more? ISTM a lot of people would be interested in this.

Isn't it? Its PostgreSQL packaged for Windows, no? Same software, just packaged for easy install ... the only thing I think should be different is that the logo be clickable back to the main web site ... but they do state that its a "native Windows port of PostgreSQL database." so it isn't as if they are trying to hide it ... ---- Marc G.

IMHO, use of it should be available as long as it is used to represent the project (ie. for UltraSQL, I think it is okay since they are referring to, and linking to, the project right beside it) ... ---- Marc G.

I think this is inappropriate(having projects to use our image). Is it "our image"?

The PostgreSQL is under BSD License but it doesn't imply that every productderivate from it could use the same "publicity" as the original project. ppl can be false ideas from PostgreSQL ifit eventually occurs. We need to be tight in this point. That's my opinion.

Not exactly. It is the NuSphere (AKA PeerDirect) native Win32 port of PostgreSQL, which is based on 7.2.1 (they didn't even bother to apply a 7.2.1 - 7.2.4 delta yet). I don't think the full source code is available and the stuff is not at all peer reviewed by the PostgreSQL community.
