Re: [stellation-res] MySQL connection

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your detailed answer. Concerning MySQL, as you said, you
can't
provide inside Stellation a connection to MySQL, and it seems that is
not a
technical problem but the pb of lawyers. But I also can imagine that
someone who could provide a plugin extension to Stellation , ie not
provided
by IBM, could use Stellation on windows easily without being obliged
to use
another database than his prefered db.
So the question is the following ; it is not possible to start another
project named "MySQL for Stellation" on sourceforge, which could be
referenced in the Stellation page ;) (I remember that someone, maybe
Jonathan, has already worked on this connection...)
Sorry, but if I answered that question, I could get into trouble... One
of IBMs rules for open-source work is that we have to be very careful to
*not* provide our own interpretations of licenses or laws.
So I can't say yes or no. Just read the licenses carefully, possibly
have a chat with an IP lawyer somewhere, and decide whether you
want to do it or not.
What I can say is that we're working on a solution to database issues
that will allow us to distribute a built-in database system with
Stellation, so that you won't need to run a separate database unless
you want to.

Xavier
