PHP PostgreSQL License

majolee

Hello All,

We are a small company developing websites.

We have been doing quite research for using PHP and PostGreSQL for an ERP system development.. which will be a commercial product available to Indian Industries..

We need to know that which type of license of PHP and PostGreSQL will be required for us or The Buyers.

If we do require to have licenses than how much it will cost us and the buyer??

We are quite new to the area of licensing any software or product..

Thanks for help..

Postgresql is under the BSD license:
http://www.postgresql.org/licence.html

PHP is under the PHP License:
http://www.php.net/license/

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor is this legal advice.

However, when you develop your own PHP scripts using postgresql support, as long as you dont use code from PHP itself, or from postgresql itself, it isnt a derivative of either so you dont have to follow their licenses.

PostgreSQL is licensed under the BSD license, which you can read here:

http://www.postgresql.org/licence.html

While PHP is licensed under the PHP license, which you can read more about here:

http://www.php.net/license/

and here:

http://www.php.net/license/3_0.txt

Basically, they're both BSD style licenses, which means you can distribute just binaries, just source, or both, with no worries.

The Zend engine, which php runs on top of is licensed similarly, in terms of licensing, cost, and distribution.
