Salut à tous, PostgreSQL est indiqué comme étant sous Licence : BSD.

Hors je voudrais savoir si son utilisation en entreprise et ne pouvant faire partager les sources (confidentialité) soumet celle ci à des droits d'auteurs comme le fait par exemple QT (librairie graphique) sur laquelle je vais probablement aussi travailler!

Si oui... où peut on en trouver les modalités... Merci d'avance
