I would be quite surprised if that were permissible. CA is making up "yet another open source license," and it seems really unlikely that this would represent a thin enough rewriting of the BSD license to allow inclusion in PostgreSQL. Most new licenses seem to be intended to do something akin to what MySQL does, with dual licenses; some "open source" license, for 'toy' usage and to allow free publicity via inclusion with Linux distributions, but a traditional proprietary license for anyone making 'serious' use of their product. It would be surprising for CA's instance to turn out otherwise... -- output = reverse("moc.enworbbc" "@" "enworbbc") http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/finances.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #105.
