Jonah,

Unfortunately, yes I have. I had to help several users who got burned by
it: the patch was buggy as all-get out. For example, it wouldn't access
TOAST tables, so any TEXT fields larger than 500chars got cut off; and
wouldn't support user-added data types or domains. (This was a year ago,
so maybe Evgen fixed these things)

So it's really nice of Evgen to re-license, but the license was *not* the
primary thing blocking acceptance of the patch.
