hi,
i would like to get services of postgresql from inside the process (to
use it as a library and linking to it), i.e not having a separate
postgresql process and communicating with it. Is this possible? if
possible what are the impact on licensing.

thank you

No.

None. It's BSD. If you wanna try and hack up something like that go
ahead. Generally you're better off with SQLLite.

Yes, it's theoretically possible, but making PG into a library would
be a LOT of work. Don't even think about it. Use SQLLite if you need
that kind of functionality.
