Jean-Michel, you seem to have some GPL vs. BSD issues you need to resolve *within yourself*. PostgreSQL is BSD licensed, and AFAIK everyone on the core group is happy with that decision. If you don't like the side effects of what a BSD licensed project entails, you need to either find a different project, or start lobbying the core group to change the license; either way the discussion is moot here on pgsql-advocacy.
