(I> thought there were some restrictions that make it not open source.)It depends. This is the condition:# Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information on# how to obtain complete source code for the DB software and any# accompanying software that uses the DB software. The source code# must either be included in the distribution or be available for no# more than the cost of distribution plus a nominal fee, and must be# freely redistributable under reasonable conditions.So distributing Python itself should be no problem.It appears that the Pythonlabs distribution still uses DB 1.85. Don'ttell that Skip :-) He believes that this version has serious flawsthat can lead to data corruption...Regards,Martin
