PostgreSQL, Inc. donates database replication softwarePostgreSQL, Inc. donates database replication softwarePosted Aug 30, 2003 3:09 UTC (Sat) by JustinClift (guest, #14588)Parent article: PostgreSQL, Inc. donates database replication software Most of you seem to have missed the point! We released eRServer not because we want to "get a hold of other people's contributions", but instead because it's a feature that much of the Open Source Community was demanding (and a lot of them couldn't afford). Why the BSD licence... easy. "Gift to Humanity". "Actually, GPL would protect them better than BSD because they are the copyright owner. With BSD, anyone can make a closed source version With GPL, only the copyright owner can make a closed source version." That's the *whole point* of the BSD licence... people are free to use it for *anything*. If a company decides to use this and develop it as a product... then good luck to them. It still advances OSS, and gives more options to people. Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
