Hello,
we are using PostgreSQL in our projects and would like to integrate
PostGIS as well.
Now PostGIS is licensed under the GPL and I wonder if we can use it
in a commercial (customer specific) project then.
The source code will not be made open source, but of course the
customer will get the source code.
Is it still OK to use the GPL licensed PostGIS in this case?
Is that then considered a derivative work because the application
will not work without PostGIS?
If it's pure GPL, then postgresql is automagically relicenced to GPL,
because postgresql allows relicencing and GPL force it to be GPL.
Your source code must be in GPL too. Remember, it's a virus licence
and has the same problem that Midas king had.

Thomas
