This work started from the SQLite project (found on the web at
|
|
http://www.sqlite.org/). SQLite and all contributions to the SQLite
|
|
project have been placed in the public domain by its author, Dr. Richard Hipp.
|
|
There was no assertion of copyright at all on the code I used as a starting
|
|
point for my work. In fact there are statements that explicitly disclaim
|
|
copyright. I am asserting copyright on this work, DBSQL. I believe
|
|
that if you examine the extent to which I've changed, updated, and
|
|
modified the SQLite code you'll respect my copyright assertion. This
|
|
is a new product, heavily inspired by another.
|
|
|
|
The goal for DBSQL is to provide a small SQL92 relational database layer
|
|
on top of the Berkeley DB database. Berkeley DB is copyright Oracle
|
|
Corporation (formerly Sleepycat Software, acquired in Feb 2006) and
|
|
licensed under the Sleepycat Public License. That license is compatible
|
|
with the GPL for open source use. Recognize that you, as someone using
|
|
DBSQL, will need to review the Sleepycat License and the GPL before you
|
|
use and redistribute your incorporating work. It is your responsibility
|
|
to comply with those licenses as I am in my work on DBSQL itself. My
|
|
motivation on a personal level is quite simple, I am in product management
|
|
these days and not in the code itself. I believe that product managers
|
|
should be engineers at heart with an ability to understand business,
|
|
politics, and software sales and support. This is my playground to keep
|
|
my engineering skills sharp enough to speak fluent geek. As a former
|
|
engineer at Sleepycat I understand and value the Berkeley DB programming
|
|
infrasture, design, and methodologies and I have liberally copied and
|
|
reused them in this project to improve SQLite in ways that I hope will
|
|
be of value to open source users out there. I did this because I see the
|
|
value of SQLite to its userbase, it is a perfect example of the 80/20
|
|
rule and the KISS method and I admire those qualities in software. My
|
|
hope is that the Berkeley DB database engine will provide some significant
|
|
features that SQLite cannot such as replication for high availability
|
|
while remaining small enough to live comfortably inside applications,
|
|
services, and devices.
