Currently MonetDB is licensed under `fork` of MPL 1.1. This is free software license, but it is not compatible with GPL ( http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#MPL ). Are there some plans to change license, e.g. to upgrade to MPL 2.0? I'm asking since I'm planning big project (under GPLv3) just now, and I need to choose backend database. I like MonetDB, but GPL incompatibility stopped me. Best regards, Basil Peace
Are you going to modify MonetDB?

Currently I'm not.
I'm going to 1) include MonetDB in deployment package 2) use foreign wrapper
data for PostgreSQL, which has to be compiled against MonetDB headers.

Well. If you're not linking against the libraries, I'm not sure it makes
any difference.
