The postgresql driver might be considered derivative work, and thus required to be AGPL as well, because Postgres does not talk some standard protocol that exists outside of it.
- tremon 6y agoBut one can modify Postgres without changing the wire protocol, so the driver may be the plain, original one without custom modifications. The AGPL doesn't mandate that the protocol must be ratified by some standards body, only that a "Standard Interface [exists] for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form".
- p_l 6y agoThe driver would be derived work of Postgres, thus AGPL, and already problematic in use because of that.
