Hi Andrei,

I like pg_profile, and would like to use it in our postgres database in our org. Can I request you to please include GPLicence in your code? That way our sec team wont mind us using it.

Regards Yogi

Hello, Yogi!

Thank you for your attention to pg_profile! I'm a little bit puzzled with your question. pg_profile is released under Postgres license to be fully compatible with the DBMS. I don't understand how do your security team allows using PostgreSQL under Postgres license and avoids using pg_profile with exact the same licence?

Thanks for replying, Andrei.

I later searched your disclaimer, and found it matching MIT license completely. I guess, I was just looking for a mention of the MIT license in the disclaimer(license file). Just seeing that 3 letter acronym would shut off any and all questions our sec team might have.

You know how silly these things can be. I got to know, should we really get into approval process in my org, it ll delay my deployment for more than a month.

So if you could just say, something like... "free to use under MIT license". This can save me a month of BS to handle. :-p

I've got your point, Yogi

Let's try to add some more compatibility with PostgreSQL license.. How about such contents of LICENSE file?

pg_profile extension is released under the PostgreSQL License, a liberal Open Source license, similar to the BSD or MIT licenses.

Hi, Yogi,

I've updated the LICENSE file as we discussed above. I think the issue can be closed when your sec team will approve using pg_profile in your environment.

Regards, Andrei Zubkov
