Not quite, according to the programmers who worked on Postgres at UC
Berkeley. While X.org and Ubuntu both took code from the other project,
Postgres was a completely new project, and there is no code shared between
it and Ingres (except to the extent that some of the same coders may have
touched both projects at some time, and each coder has a style). The
projects both came from the same research lab, is all.
