Re: NuoDB released 1.2 along with a Django Driver

This is deeply concerning -- from my initial inspection of the code, it's pretty clear that the NuoDB backend has been substantially copied from Django's postgresql_psycopg2 backend.

The code in the Django postgresql_psycogpy2 backend, like all of Django, is covered by Django's BSD license, which requires attribution of the copyright to:

Copyright (c) Django Software Foundation and individual contributors.

All rights reserved.

The DSF takes this copyright very seriously. While I'm enthusiastic about the prospect of a new database supporting Django, that can't be at the cost of the Django community losing it's intellectual property rights. Lindsey -- I'll be in touch shortly in my capacity as DSF President to discuss this issue.

Yours,

You might want to update the license to reflect that most of the code is actually a copy & paste from Django's postgresql_psycopg2 backend, which was obvious because whoever worked on the backend forgot to remove all of the "postgresql" comments from the code.
