Re: Status of PostgreSQL port of cddbd

My code will definitely be open source.  Since it is derived from the
current cddbd, I don't have a choice.  It's what I prefer, regardless
of the license.  I'm using other people's knowledge; I prefer to share
my own.  Making it open source, will encourage its spreading.

I hope that my code is a new protocol for cddbd, if it it passes the
tests.  I have had some words of encouragement of joerg, but no
promises, definitely without seeing my work.

By the way, my new code is largely in C++, with some of the original
cddbd code remaining in C, other code changing to C++.

In theory, PostgreSQL could be changed to another SQL, but I haven't
worked to ensure that.
