Обсуждение: Questions about PostgreSQL Setup License
Hello, I read on your website that PostgreSQL source code is free for use and modi= fication, but in my case I am working on a project where we are generating = our own setup and we would like to integrate PostgreSQL setup within it. Are we also allowed to do that ? Thanks in advance for your response, Yours sincerely, Aur=E9lien DUBILLOT Ing=E9nieur D=E9veloppement Software System Engineering / Nantes THALES Services S.A.S

The answer is yes, though IANAL, and that does not constitute legal advice. However, there are a number of fairly prominent full commercial forks, so I think you're safe. -- Regards, Peter Geoghegan

This isn't really a bug, but... Yes. You are allowed to do that. Just include a file with the PostgreSQL license and copyright. This is how I did it for a derived work: """ Copyright (c) 2012-2013, Heroku All rights reserved. Portions are derived from the PostgreSQL Project. The copyright for those can be found in POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT. Otherwise, the license is as follows: """ The license I have chosen is afterwards. POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT is just a copy of the postgres COPYRIGHT file. (https://github.com/fdr/pg_logfebe/ if you are curious) -- fdr
