Well, that's a slight exaggeration. Not when you *link*. When you

Fair comment - you are right it is the "distribution" of the derived work or

copy which requires the same terms licensing.

I understand that Ingres Corp. doesn't provide support for self-built
binaries, that supported binaries are distributed without source code.

However, does anything legal or technical prevent the use of a supported
client library (say, Open API) from connecting to a community edition
server? Certainly the GPL wouldn't have a problem with that.

Technically - not that I am aware of. Legally - I don't know. It is

something
you can raise via sales (AT) ingres (DOT) com or info (AT) ingres (DOT) com.
