JDBC Manager License
JDBC Manager is released under Open Source License.
Basically it says that you can use this software, distribute it, and even you can modify it,
but you have to apply Open Source License to the modifications.
In other words: if you use my job, then your job is also Open Source and you
can not sell it.
Any case, please read carefully the license:

The Open Software License
v. 1.1
This Open Software License (the "License") applies to any
original work of authorship (the "Original Work") whose
owner (the "Licensor") has placed the following notice
immediately following the copyright notice for the Original Work:
Licensed under the Open Software License version 1.1
1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide,
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, non-sublicenseable license
to do the following:
a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies;
b) to prepare derivative works ("Derivative Works") based
upon the Original Work;
c) to distribute copies of the Original Work and Derivative Works
to the public, with the proviso that copies of Original Work or
Derivative Works that You distribute shall be licensed under the
Open Software License;
d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
e) to display the Original Work publicly.
2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide,
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, non-sublicenseable license,
under patent claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are
embodied in the Original Work as furnished by the Licensor
("Licensed Claims") to make, use, sell and offer for sale
the Original Work. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide,
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, non-sublicenseable license
under the Licensed Claims to make, use, sell and offer for sale
Derivative Works.
3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means
the preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to
it and all available documentation describing how to modify the
Original Work. Licensor hereby agrees to provide a machine-readable
copy of the Source Code of the Original Work along with each copy of
the Original Work that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the
right to satisfy this obligation by placing a machine-readable copy
of the Source Code in an information repository reasonably
calculated to permit inexpensive and convenient access by You for as
long as Licensor continues to distribute the Original Work, and by
publishing the address of that information repository in a notice
immediately following the copyright notice that applies to the
Original Work.
4) Exclusions From License Grant. Nothing in this License shall be
deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade
secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor except as
expressly stated herein. No patent license is granted to make, use,
sell or offer to sell embodiments of any patent claims other than the
Licensed Claims defined in Section 2. No right is granted to the
trademarks of Licensor even if such marks are included in the Original
Work. Nothing in this License shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor
from licensing under different terms from this License any Original
Work that Licensor otherwise would have a right to license.
5) External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means
the use or distribution of the Original Work or Derivative Works in
any way such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used
by anyone other than You, whether the Original Work or Derivative
Works are distributed to those persons or made available as an
application intended for use over a computer network. As an express
condition for the grants of license hereunder, You agree that any
External Deployment by You of a Derivative Work shall be deemed a
distribution and shall be licensed to all under the terms of this
License, as prescribed in section 1(c) herein.
6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any
Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent or trademark
notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any
notices of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an
"Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any
Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution
Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have
modified the Original Work.
7) Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants that the copyright
in and to the Original Work is owned by the Licensor or that the Original
Work is distributed by Licensor under a valid current license from the
copyright owner. Except as expressly stated in the immediately proceeding
sentence, the Original Work is provided under this License on an "AS IS"
BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express or implied, including, without
limitation, the warranties of NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE
ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an
essential part of this License. No license to Original Work is granted
hereunder except under this disclaimer.
8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal theory,
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall the
Licensor be liable to any person for any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result
of this License or the use of the Original Work including, without
limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure
or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses. This
limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or
personal injury resulting from Licensor's negligence to the extent
applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.
9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the Original Work
or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the
circumstances to obtain the express and volitional assent of recipients
to the terms of this License. Nothing else but this License (or another
written agreement between Licensor and You) grants You permission to
create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work or to exercise any
of the rights granted in Sections 1 herein, and any attempt to do so
except under the terms of this License (or another written agreement
between Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by U.S. copyright law,
the equivalent laws of other countries, and by international treaty.
Therefore, by exercising any of the rights granted to You in Sections 1
herein, You indicate Your acceptance of this License and all of its
terms and conditions. This License shall terminate immediately and you
may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this
License upon Your failure to honor the proviso in Section 1(c) herein.
10) Mutual Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate
automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to
You by this License if You file a lawsuit in any court alleging that any
OSI Certified open source software that is licensed under any license
containing this "Mutual Termination for Patent Action" clause
infringes any patent claims that are essential to use that software.
11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating to
this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction wherein
the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary business,
and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law
provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any use of the
Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its termination
shall be subject to the requirements and penalties of the U.S. Copyright
Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and
international treaty. This section shall survive the termination of this
License.
12) Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License or
seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.
This section shall survive the termination of this License.
13) Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement concerning
the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable.
14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout
this License, whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a
legal entity exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms
of, this License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity
that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with you. For
purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power,
direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity,
whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%)
or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such
entity.
15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise
restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor promises
not to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by You.
