C3P0 License
Dear Steve,
we are using your C3P0 library in the Apache Marmotta (incubating) project
for pooling database connections in our backend. Unfortunately, after doing
a license check, I realised that C3P0 is licensed under LGPL and therefore
not compatible with the Apache project license requirements (see
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html).
We would like to continue using your library for connection pooling.
Therefore I would like to ask you whether you would consider re-licensing
the library under a license that is more compatible with the Apache
requirements (e.g. Apache License, MIT License, or BSD license).
Looking forward to your reply,
Sebastian

Hi,
I'm sorry for the very slow response. As of c3p0-0.9.2.1, c3p0 is dual licensed, LGPL v.2.1 and EPL v.1.0.
I hope that this is helpful to you.
regards!
