My materialized view stored procedures for MySQL have been OKed for release.

: swanhart; May 19th, 2008

AdBrite has signed off the release of my materialized view maintenance stored procedures under the GPL. LGPL is also an option, and I'm curious as to which you feel is more appropriate for a set of stored procedures that are never rendered into bytecode, or technically linked with other source. Is GPL acceptable or is LGPL more appropriate?

I am waiting on the approval of a sourceforge project to release the source code. Over the weekend I put together a series of web pages for the project, which I plan to call 'Flexviews for MySQL' which will also be hosted on sourceforge.

Please pick the LGPL for this stuff. Makes it easy for people to not have to figure out the legal situation around stored procedures. Is it linking is it not?

Agreed. ExtJS recently moved from LGPL to GPL, and on top of that even explicitly stated in their license that if your code so much as builds a JSON object that is specifically meant for use in one of their components that code (be it PHP or any other web language) has to be GPL as well. We were considering upgrading from 1.1 to 2.0, but since 2.1 is the version that was changed to GPL we probably won't be moving to 2.0 just so it's less likely someone will accidentally upgrade to 2.1 and jeopardize our software.

Sourceforge has been getting way too clunky for my needs, and these days I'm using Google Code for new projects. No skin off my back if you use it, but why not Google Code?

I'm just kind of partial to Sourceforge. I helped arrange for the Arizona Sourceforge mirror at Easynews a few years back. Plus, I'm familiar with it already.
