1. Proxool's liberal license (Apache) allows free commercial and 
non-commercial distribution, so it serves all ISV business models.
2. Proxool is a true wrapper driver, which implies that it a) protects 
previous investments in JDBC drivers and b) ensures compatibility with 
the J2SE API.

We can provide an objective performance benchmark when the J2EE CTS 
passes. Al is ill at the moment, I hope he can provide us with more 
details on this later this week.

Kind regards,
Bas
