Re: Commercial Java program bundled with 'free' database?

Hi! I am writing a program for a client and I'm using several database

sure if I can freely bundle these database files with my program when I
distribute it to my customer so I have a question:

I have sad this a few times, and I will say it again. Seeking legal advice on Usenet is a rather bad idea. Do you think a judge will buy your claim "But that stranger on Usenet told me so!" if things go wrong?

Pay and ask a lawyer, if this is an important matter for you.
