Hi Danielle,

The concern is with LGPL v3 in a closed appliance in the consumer space;
and that we would have to allow others to patch the product with an updated
version of the library. We have no issue releasing any improvements made
to the driver back to the community, the concern is if we would end up
exposing other commercial code that would be required to patch the driver
in our product.

We have no problem with LGPL v2 or a commercial license that required us to
release back changes we make to the driver itself. Is that a possibility?

If we can call you or your team regarding a commercial license, that should
help us use psycopg and postgresql.

Thanks,
Vishnu
