This means that you don't have to pay a fee or sign a written agreement
to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its documentation
for any purpose. It doesn't say that you can't charge a fee for
distributing (although why anybody would pay you for something they can
download themselves for free I don't know).
hp A rule of thumb is - you can do anything you want with it (the PG software
inc. its source), except claim you wrote it, as long as you preserve the
original license-file(s). I take it that the OP has an app/dataset on top of
PG he/she wishes to market (and protect). Perfectly legit, no? Not clear if
there is a desire to disable direct db access. That seems perfectly legit. I'm
not sure what "to work offline" means, but using PG for whatever commercial
purposes is totally fine, given the license-requirement above. -- Andreas
