More to the point ... who cares? As much as I respect Tom Lane, he is but
one person amongst many developers ... so even if Redhat were to close
*its* database sources, and take Tom away from us, albeit a sad day, there
are others that would fill the gap ...

Personally, I think the bad karma resulting from that would cause them to
think twice very quickly, but hey, its been known to happen ...
