Like, post your version of the cut? > The full quote is "Fujitsu is very pleased with the new features in PostgreSQL 8.0. We are confident that these enterprise features will attract a great number of new PostgreSQL users.", said Mr. Takayuki Nakazawa, Director of Fujitsu's OSS Database in Software Group. "Fujitsu is proud of its sponsorship of contributions to PostgreSQL and of its work with the PostgreSQL community. We are committed to helping make PostgreSQL the leading Database Management System." which, if forced to edit down, I would reduce to Mr. Takayuki Nakazawa, Director of Fujitsu's OSS Database in Software Group commented "Fujitsu is proud of its sponsorship of contributions to PostgreSQL and of its work with the PostgreSQL community. We are committed to helping make PostgreSQL the leading Database Management System." IMHO and with respect to Mr. Nakazawa, the importance of his comments for the community and wider world are the sponsorship and commitment he voices on behalf of a major global corporation. His starting comments offer some context, as well as some other views that follow naturally from the important closing statements (if they were reordered). If it were me, I would not edit his words at all. His last statement is the most important: "We are committed to helping make PostgreSQL the leading Database Management System." This shows the strength of his position, his ambition and the fact that he is helping, i.e. recognition that he is acting as part of a wider community, not as de facto owner, as can be common elsewhere in OSS. Thank you for your support Mr. Nakazawa -- Best Regards, Simon Riggs
