Bonjour,
Serait-il possible d'indiquer clairement, sur les pages
décrivant pgAdmin, qu'il s'agit d'un logiciel propriétaire ? Les
termes de la licence laissent peu de doute à ce sujet mais la
présentation au sein du site postgresql.org et le titre même de la
licence (pgAdmin Public Licence) induisent en erreur. Avec tout le
respect que j'ai pour toi, une telle confusion peut difficilement
passer pour fortuite. Elle est ressentie, au contraire, comme un
comportement parasitaire délibéré de la communauté Logiciel Libre afin
de promouvoir un logiciel propriétaire. Au contraire, si l'aspect
propriétaire est clairement affiché, tu ne pourras être accusé en tant
que co-développeur et conseiller sur les questions de licence de
pgAdmin de tenter de capter un marché en piégeant les utilisateurs.
Merci par avance pour cet effort de clareté.
