Shrinkwrap Windows Product, any issues? Anyone?
I am working on getting a shrink-wrapped version of PostgreSQL for Windows
Currently it installs a customized version of Cygwin, PostgreSQL 7.2.3,
cygipc, psqlodbc, and pgadminII
I currently have the setup done.
The target audience is not the enterprise, it is aimed at people using
Access wanting to upgrade.
I've looked long and hard and can't find any license issues. Does anyone
know of any that I may have missed? As far as I can see, as long as I
maintain GPL restrictions, I should be fine.

No problems with pgAdmin, though I do have to wonder how you've done the
installer?

PostgreSQL isn't licensed under the GPL, so it sounds to me as though you're
confused about the licensing issues.

No, I don't think he is - Cygwin is GPL and psqlODBC is LGPL.

Brute force, of course!
Seriously, I have hidden the cygwin environment and simply called it
PostgreSQL. I am managing all he environment variables in my installer,
and I am using Windows batch files to start bash which executes the
PostgreSQL comands.
I am using PGAdmin as the administration tool
It really looks slick

I was thinking more about how you've dealt with installing pgAdmin, or
have you left it seperate? If you need any help with that side of it,
just let me know...
Sounds good though...

I'm not confused about the licensing issues. PostgreSQL is less
restrictive than is GPL. Maybe I should have phrased it as the most
restrictive license is GPL, so as long as I maintain GPL restrictions I
should be fine.

We've done great things at our office, using the free NullSoft installer
