License for psycopg2 and ZPsycopgDA:

    psycopg is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
    (at your option) any later version.

    On Debian GNU/Linux systems, the complete text of the GNU General
    Public License can be found in '/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'.

    As a special exception, specific permission is granted for the GPLed
    code in this distribition to be linked to OpenSSL and PostgreSQL libpq
    without invoking GPL clause 2(b).

    Note that the GPL was chosen to avoid proprietary adapters based on
    psycopg code. Using psycopg in a proprietary product (even bundling
    psycopg with the proprietary product) is fine as long as:

     1. psycopg is called from Python only using only the provided API
        (i.e., no linking with C code and no C modules based on it); and

     2. all the other points of the GPL are respected (you offer a copy
        of psycopg's source code, and so on.)


License for the files tests/dbapi20.py and scripts/ext2html.py:

    These modules have been placed in the public domain.


Alternative licenses for ZPsycopgDA:

    If you prefer you can use the Zope Database Adapter ZPsycopgDA (i.e.,
    every file inside the ZPsycopgDA directory) user the ZPL license as
    published on the Zope web site, http://www.zope.org/Resources/ZPL.


Alternative licenses for psycopg/adapter*.{j,c} and
psycopg/microprotocol*.{h.c}:

    Also, the following BSD-like license applies (at your option) to the
    files following the pattern psycopg/adapter*.{h,c} and
    psycopg/microprotocol*.{h,c}:

        Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose,
        including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it
        freely, subject to the following restrictions:

        1. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not
           claim that you wrote the original software. If you use this
           software in a product, an acknowledgment in the product documentation
           would be appreciated but is not required.

        2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not
           be misrepresented as being the original software.

        3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution.

        psycopg is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
        but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

        GNU General Public License for more details.


Proprietary licenses:

    A non-exclusive license is available for companies that want to include
    psycopg in their proprietary products without respecting the spirit of the
    GPL. The price of the license is one day of development done by the author,
    at the consulting fee he applies to his usual customers at the day of the
    request.

    Please contact the upstream author (Federico Di Gregorio <fog@debian.org>)
    for more information about this license.
