Hmm ... keep in mind that PostgreSQL is used as a base for a certain number of commercial, non-BSD products (Greenplum, Netezza, EnterpriseDB, Truviso, are the ones that come to mind). Would this exception allow for linking QuickLZ with them too? It doesn't sound to me like you're open to relicensing it under BSD, which puts us in an uncomfortable position. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
