Re-distribution of Embedded Database

What does “redistribute” mean?

 

The term “redistribution” in the Open Source License means your application is distributed to one or more third parties. Giving an application to customers, even in alpha or beta releases, is redistribution. Giving contractors, affiliates, parent organizations or subsidiaries, business partners or support vendors a copy of the application is generally redistribution.

 

The following are not redistribution:

 

- Building an application for use internal to your organization deployed and managed on your company servers.

 

- Off-site backups or other software archival procedures.

 

DeviceSQL

 

The DeviceSQL Quick Start Suite provides users with a perpetual, non-commercial use license for Windows environments. Once developers are ready to deploy their solutions for a non-Windows device platform or for commercial use, they can obtain the appropriate DeviceSQL Platform Environment along with DeviceSQL commercial-use licenses by contacting Encirq.

 

License: Commercial

 

Type: Software Framework for Embedded Apps

SQLite

 

All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been dedicated to the public domain by the authors. All code authors, and representatives of the companies they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to the public domain and originals of those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe at the main offices of Hwaci. Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute the original SQLite code, either in source code form or as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any means.

 

The previous paragraph applies to the deliverable code in SQLite – those parts of the SQLite library that you actually bundle and ship with a larger application. Portions of the documentation and some code used as part of the build process might fall under other licenses. The details here are unclear. We do not worry about the licensing of the documentation and build code so much because none of these things are part of the core deliverable SQLite library.

 

All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been written from scratch. No code has been taken from other projects or from the open internet. Every line of code can be traced back to its original author, and all of those authors have public domain dedications on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is uncontaminated with licensed code from other projects.

 

Obtaining An Explicit License To Use SQLite

 

Even though SQLite is in the public domain and does not require a license, some users want to obtain a license anyway. Some reasons for obtaining a license include:

 

You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the public domain.

 

You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the right of an author to dedicate their work to the public domain.

 

You want to hold a tangible legal document as evidence that you have the legal right to use and distribute SQLite.

 

Your legal department tells you that you have to purchase a license.

 

If you feel like you really have to purchase a license for SQLite, Hwaci, the company that employs the architect and principal developers of SQLite, will sell you one $1000 US one time charges for more information checkout http://www.hwaci.com/cgi-bin/license-step1

 

Contributed Code

 

In order to keep SQLite completely free and unencumbered by copyright, all new contributors to the SQLite code base are asked to dedicate their contributions to the public domain. If you want to send a patch or enhancement for possible inclusion in the SQLite source tree, please accompany the patch with the following statement:

 

The author or authors of this code dedicate any and all copyright interest in this code to the public domain. We make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and to the detriment of our heirs and successors. We intend this dedication to be an overt act of relinquishment in perpetuity of all present and future rights to this code under copyright law.

 

We are not able to accept patches or changes to SQLite that are not accompanied by a statement such as the above. In addition, if you make changes or enhancements as an employee, then a simple statement such as the above is insufficient. You must also send by surface mail a copyright release signed by a company officer. A signed original of the copyright release should be mailed to:

 

Hwaci
6200 Maple Cove Lane
Charlotte, NC 28269
USA

 

A template copyright release is available in PDF or HTML. You can use this release to make future changes.

Oracle TimesTen

 

Any version of TimesTen contains a license file, ttlicense.dat. If you install TimesTen using the installation CD or ftp file no action is required on your part to use TimesTen software. TimesTen customers that create their own custom installation to redistribute TimesTen should read the following information.

 

The ttlicense.dat allows TimesTen to optionally create TimesTen products for evaluation purposes only that have expiration dates. All TimesTen customers receive the version of TimesTen that has no expiration date. Both the expiration and non-expiration versions require the ttlicense.dat file to exist in the proper location.

 

File location

 

On UNIX systems, the license file on the TimesTen CD or ftp package is in the key subdirectory. Upon install, ttlicense.dat is placed in the install_dir/bin directory

 

On Windows systems, the license file on the TimesTen CD or ftp package is in the root directory. Upon install, ttlicense.dat is placed in the install_dir/srv directory.

 

License-related errors

 

If the license file is missing or altered, upon a connection attempt you will get an error message. If you get one of the license error messages, you can restore the original

 

license file from a known good copy of the same patch version of TimesTen.

 

In some cases, you may need to restart the TimesTen Data Manager Server (Service on Windows) in order to detect a good ttlicense.dat file.

 

Redistribution

 

For redistribution to your users, make sure the ttlicense.dat is installed in the proper location as indicated above. You may want to create a backup copy of ttlicense.dat in the same directory so that you can advise your users to rename the file should they encounter one of the above errors. In that case, they can then rename the backup license file instead of locating a copy of it from an installation CD or ftp site.  

 

If you have any further questions about ttLicense.dat, please contact support@timesten.com.

Oracle berkeley-db

 

Oracle employs a dual licensing model that offers customers a choice of either our open source license or a commercial license. Our open source license is OSI-certified and permits use of Berkeley DB in open source projects or in applications that are not distributed to third parties. Our commercial license permits closed-source distribution of an application to third parties and provides business assurance.

 

This model gives customers significant benefits:

 

Open Source License

 

Commercial License

 

Huge user community

 

Very high code quality

 

Easier debugging and integration

 

Easy download and trial

 

No escrow issues

 

Freedom from vendor lock-in

 

Application source code stays private

 

Legal assurances, warranties and indemnification

 

Full-time, dedicated development team provides ongoing maintenance and development, documentation, testing

 

Single vendor to hold accountable

 

Berkeley DB, Berkeley DB Java Edition and Berkeley DB XML are open source products. The complete source code, documentation, and files required to build the library on a large number of operating systems and hardware platforms are available for download from Oracle Technology Network.

 

The our open source license permits you to use Berkeley DB, Berkeley DB Java Edition or Berkeley DB XML at no charge under the condition that if you use the software in an application you redistribute, the complete source code for your application must be available and freely redistributable under reasonable conditions. If you do not want to release the source code for your application, you may purchase a license from Oracle.

 

If you have questions about whether your use of Berkeley DB, Berkeley DB Java Edition or Berkeley DB XML constitutes redistribution, please contact at berkeleydb-info_us@oracle.com.

Derby db

 

Derby is fully transactional, secure, easy-to-use, standards-based — SQL, JDBC API, and Java EE — yet small, only 2MB. It has the advanced features you’d expect in any quality DBMS: stored procedures, triggers, views, referential integrity constraints (including cascading deletes), multi-user capable, cost-based query optimization, transactions, savepoints, schemas, encryption, and much more.

 

Redistribution is as per Apache License 2.0 for more information checkout http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html
