Hi,I am trying to understand how far the pgsql-jdbc driver is compliant with the JDBC-spec license. First couple of pages of the spec has license terms:http://download.oracle.com/
otn-pub/jcp/jdbc-4_1-mrel- spec/jdbc4.1-fr-spec.pdf - clause(1) seems to grant license for evaluation purpose- clause(2) seems to grant license for compliant implementations as defined by (a)-(c), which has to be a fully compliant implementation which can pass the JDBC-TCK.As I understand, the pgsql-jdbc is not evaluation, nor is a fully compliant implementation. Documentation also states, it has postgres specific extensions to the spec.With this, my Qs are:1) Is pgsql-jdbc a legitimate implementation of JDBC-spec, conforming to the JDBC license terms? If so, how?
Not sure, nobody has ever asked this question before. I would argue that the pgsql-jdbc driver existed long before this license, but I'm not a lawyer.
2) Does postgres-JDBC Group obtained special license from Oracle/jdbc-Spec-owner for this implementation of pgsql-jdbc.
no
3) Are users of pgsql-jdbc also considered violating jdbc-spec-license terms, if pgsql-jdbc is not a legitimate implementation of the JDBC-spec.
again not sure.
I do know that Oracle is well aware of the driver and has never made mention of it.
Why do you want to know ?
