So apps written using client libraries are BSD, while server-side changes would have to release source. Makes sense, though we have never had this distinction before. I assume plpgsql stored procedures would have be open source, but of course those are stored in plaintext on the server so that isn't a problem. If companies created custom C stored procedures, those would have to be open source if using cygwin. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
