Thanks for the replies. Just to make sure I understand, let me give a
more concrete example.
Consider foss products such as: LedgerSMB, Joomla, Drupal, or OpenERP.
All of those products use a database, usually PostGreSQL or MySQL.
Suppose I create a seperate application which can read, or write, to
the databases used by those applications. Suppose I find the structure
of the databases by using PHPMyAdmin, or PgAdmin, or whatever.
Would my application have to licensed under the GPL?
