Guys,

I need to use LlblGen to generate code for an open source (LGPL or similar) project.

My original intention was to use MySQL, as that is the open source DB I'm most familiar with. Obviously there are serious licensing issues that preclude using LLBLGen with MySQL with a free project.

I'm thinking I'll switch to the LlblGen + PostgreSql + NpgSql option.

Are there any known licensing problems with this combination?

Not that I'm aware of simple_smile . You're free to use the generated code in any project you like as the generated code and the runtime libraries are licensed to you royalty free. The npgsql provider isn't GPL-ed so you won't run into issues with that.

You of course have to be aware of the fact that anyone who wants to develop with your sourcecode and wants to change the generated code, has to use a licensed copy of LLBLGen Pro to operate the designer.

Yeah, that's no problem at all. If changes need to be made to the DAL then they'll come back through me so I can regenerate the libraries using my copy of LlblGen.

Right.. time to convert my DB from MySql to PostGres then stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye

Thanks Frans simple_smile
