It depends on what you are meaning by "commercial". This is a common
problem amongst FOSS people. FOSS can be commercial. I would actually
argue that EnterpriseDB Postgres *is* commercial as it is backed and
supported by a *commercial* Enterprise.
The real question is, "is it proprietary". If it is even partially
closed source then it really doesn't belong in the "postgresql family
product" unless we also include MPP and Replicator.

I think as long as the postgresql content is published as part of their
material then it should be fine.
