45+ <sect1>Can I integrate sqlmap with a security tool I am developing?
46+
47+ <p>
48+ Yes. sqlmap is released under the terms of the GPLv2, which means that any
49+ derivative work must be distributed without further restrictions on the
50+ rights granted by the GPL itself. If this constitutes a problem, feel free
51+ to contact us so we can find a solution.
52+
53+ <sect1>Will you support other database management systems?
54+
55+ <p>
56+ Yes. There are plans to support also IBM DB2, Informix and others in the
57+ long term.
58+
59+ <sect1>How can I occasionally contribute?
60+
61+ <p>
62+ All help is greatly appreciated. First of all download the tool, read the
63+ user's manual, have fun with it during your penetration tests. If you find
64+ bugs or have ideas for possible improvements, feel free to get in touch.
65+ Many people <htmlurl url="https://svn.sqlmap.org/sqlmap/trunk/sqlmap/doc/THANKS"

69+ <sect1>Can I actively contribute in the long-term development?
70+
71+ <p>
72+ Yes, we are looking for security geeks who can write some clean Python
73+ code, are up to do security research, know about web application security,
74+ database assessment and takeover, post-exploitation techniques, software
75+ refactoring and are motivated to join the development team. If you are
76+ interested, feel free to <htmlurl url="http://sqlmap.sourceforge.net/#author"
