Building a bit on Nicola's response, I feel it's useful to point out that if an end user of Django chooses to use it in conjunction with any GPL library, regardless of whether that library provides exceptions like psycopg does, that use does not affect Django in the slightest; the GPL explicitly places no restrictions on how you personally use GPL software. Also, if you yourself were to distribute Django and psycopg, or distribute a Django application along with some other GPL library which was required by the application, then you and you alone would be required to offer Django under the terms of the GPL; actions taken by someone "downstream" cannot propagate "upstream" to the main Django distribution. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
