Re: PostgreSQL ad images

OK --- she will do what she can with this new elephant and if Andreas
can find the hi-res, she will update whatever new work she develops.

As far as license, all should understand that whatever we do on our end
requires 0 attribution and is being provided to the community under the
"best- most free" license, which I believe would be BSD.

We don't want to impede anyone's future efforts.

Thanks,
Mike E.
