A point worth making here is that the Postgres *license* is so lax
that it's basically impossible to violate, unless maybe by redistributing
the code sans COPYRIGHT file. And even if somebody were doing that,
I doubt how much we'd care.
We do care more about the Postgres *trademarks*, which is why Bruce
is pointing you to the organization that owns those. But a trademark
violation is an entirely different animal from a copyright violation.
