I should like to point out (in addition to Peter E's comments) that
these are both files in contrib/. Nothing in the main code tree is GPL,
as far as I know, and nobody that I know of expects a complete
PostgreSQL installation to include everything in contrib/
At the same time, it strikes me that at least the userlock stuff, and
maybe dbmirror as well, are candidates for pgfoundry rather than
contrib/

to use, but at least there is a lot of code underneath."
