Interesting. It looks like a modified version of the old BSD license
where you are required to mention you are using Spread. I believe we
can get that reduced. (I think Darren already addressed this with
them.) We certainly are not going to accept software that requires all
PostgreSQL user sites to mention Spread.
The whole "mention" aspect of the old BSD license was pretty ambiguous,
and I assume this is similar.
