psycopg and the GPL
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
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. See file COPYING for details.
|
|
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
Alternative licenses
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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}:
|
|
|
|

|
|
claim that you wrote the original software. If you use this

|

|
|
be misrepresented as being the original software.
