      <p class="title">License</p>
      <p>jTDS is Free Software. jTDS is made available under the terms of the
        <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html">GNU Lesser General
        Public License</a>. The
        <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html">LGPL</a> is
        sufficiently flexible to allow the use of jTDS in both open source and
        commercial projects. Using jTDS is considered to be dynamic linking;
        hence our interpretation of the LGPL is that the use of the unmodified
        jTDS source or binary does not affect the license of your application
        code.</p>
      <p>If you modify jTDS and redistribute your modifications, the LGPL
        applies, basically meaning that you'll have to make the modified version
        publicly available under the LGPL license too. This ensures that all
        users of the software have access to all future improvements.</p>
      <p>jTDS was initially based on software released under a BSD license by
        CDS Networks, Inc. and/or Craig Spannring, the author of the original
        FreeTDS JDBC driver from which jTDS is derived. Between releases 0.8.1
        and 0.9 jTDS was completely rewritten so the original BSD license no
        longer applies.</p>
