And we must consider the source of this last 'cannonade'. After all, the
laws of physics apply to software! (;-)).
Personally, I don't think our FAQ list should address this issue at all.
PostgreSQL is BSD licensed. And that's just that.
However, if the majority thinks it best to point out the reasons, the
smaller, simpler, and lowest flashpoint solution should be taken. The GPL
has its adherents, advantages, and disadvantages. The BSD license likewise.
Mutual respect amongst the parties should be followed, IMHO.
