Although, if you're not going to sell it, it'd be nice to submit the translated docs back to the project.

But that shouldn't stop you from submitting them: we'd invent a mechanism, perhaps. ;-) Ross > > > Hi, > > > > Please could you tell me what is the PostgreSQL documentation's license ? > > > > I'll have to write a course on PostgreSQL (in french only) and I want to > > know if I could just translate PostgreSQL reference cards for each > > SQL command, e.g. I'm particularly interested in translating the synopsis > > and some of the description of each SQL command manpage, and then > > incorporating them in my own work's appendices. > > > > Do you allow me to do that ? > > -- Ross J.
