Understood and from a Steering Committee perspective it makes
sense to attempt to have all code associated with the project 
under one license.

However this contribution is part of another project, the Red Hat
Database Project, that uses GPL as its license.  All tools and
utilities that we are developing including the Administrator, 
Browser and Visual Explain will be issued under GPL (where possible).  

All work performed by the RHDB development team on PostgreSQL
proper falls under the existing PostgreSQL license(s).   

Cheers,
Patrick
