Clearly! I meant only in the context of using a PostgreSQL download as
a malware vector. That’s not presently the case, but I was putting the
idea out there.

If we ignore the issues with GIMP, this thread doesn’t exist!

FWIW I think filing a takedown is a Rubicon of sorts, and making that
move comes with a cost, especially for the sort of benevolent/laissez-
faire community FOSS projects such as PostgreSQL strive to cultivate.
It would need a clear and present danger to a large segment of users.

On the other hand, there is probably little risk of alienating “good”
community members by going after SF should this behavior continue.
