The PG license is *not* the "old" (advertising-clause) BSD license, but
the new one. What I gathered from the other link that was posted is
that Debian's license concern has nothing to do with the Postgres
license, but rather that they think freeradius and openssl have
incompatible licenses. So it's those two projects that you need to talk
to about this. We are just bystanders.
