Thanks for this answer to this thread Marc.
"traduttore-mentore" has they say in Italian: The one translating is a
lyar :-D
So, JD, on this one, I guess you owe me a beer for ever thinking I could
be that kind of guy telling such a bullshit :-)
I'm egocentric but not this much ! :-)

That is really true for every PostgreSQL company.
But the only way we have to be associated to the project respecfully
towards our community is by our contributions whatever they are (code,
reviews, events, sponsorship, advocacy, education, etc..).
Thats the only way to be in the all of fame
(http://www.postgresql.org/about/sponsors/) for a company like ours.
AFAIK, *every* PostgreSQL knows the rules and play quite well with it.
Cheers,
