I don't know about licensing... I believe the issue is that we don't have enough manpower to keep more backends updated in core. Even now the Oracle backend is somewhat problematic - there aren't that many contributors (or committers for that matter) who have Oracle installed, and thus it is somewhat common that commits break that backend. Then we fix those errors afterwards when/if we spot the errors. Adding another not commonly available backend to the matrix would cause more similar problems. Having the backend in core is somewhat problematic for the above reasons. But not having the backends in core is problematic for the users... Still, at least for now it is better for the backends to live outside core. BTW I have just committed some patches with the aim of making the full Django test suite pass when using django-mssql (another 3rd party backend). If there is need and interest for similar work for DB2 I am willing to commit patches... - Anssi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
