Hi,
We at Codexpert Systems are developing a Commercial MIS system, and are
planning to go for POSTGRESQL as the database system. We need some
clarifications for the same.

1. What are licenses we need to have to as developers of a software that
uses POSTGRESQL?

2. What are the licenses a user is to provided with who uses our software
that uses POSTGRESQL as Database System?

Pl Note that our software is a non Open Sorce software. The availability of
POSTGRESQL for Windows/Linux and other platforms is the main reason we are
planning to choose POSTGRESQL

Anything you want, PostgreSQL is BSD licensed.

This is not a problem, PostgreSQL is BSD licensed.

You should see about reading the license for PostgreSQL. That should
answer your questions.
