This means that you don't have to pay a fee or sign a written agreement to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its documentation for any purpose. It doesn't say that you can't charge a fee for distributing (although why anybody would pay you for something they can download themselves for free I don't know).

A rule of thumb is - you can do anything you want with it (the PG software inc. its source), except claim you wrote it, as long as you preserve the original license-file(s).
I take it that the OP has an app/dataset on top of PG he/she wishes to market (and protect). Perfectly legit, no? Not clear if there is a desire to disable direct db access.
