That's delightful, I suppose, but a lot of us don't get up in the
morning thinking about our "competitors,"[1] or at least I don't. I
think about making PostgreSQL awesome for the people who will
eventually use it, and if "competitors" happen not to be happy in the
process, it's really not my concern one way or the other.

Cheers,
David.

[1] What does that word even mean in the context of a software project
with no single company behind it and license terms that have helped
people spawn multiple billion-dollar proprietary forks?
