 PostGIS is open source software available under the [GNU GPLv2](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html). While the GPL does have some expansive "share and share alike" clauses in it, they **do not apply** to the ordinary uses people make of a spatial database, such as loading data into it and running queries against it.
 
-If you are releasing software that uses PostGIS, does that mean your software has to be licensed using the GPL like PostGIS? Will your have to publish all your code if your use PostGIS?

 Almost certainly **not**. As an example, consider an Oracle database running on Linux. Linux is GPL, Oracle is not: does Oracle running on Linux have to be distributed using the GPL? No. Similarly your software can use a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database as much as it wants and be under any license you like.
