pgFoundry is a resource we provide the community. The projects there are
the responsibility of their individual owners. We are not going to start
being the license police. I at least have neither the time to do that
nor any interest in doing it. If people want to use what is on pgFoundry
then it is up to them to make sure it has whatever licence meets their
requirements.

What we should do is add the PostgreSQL license to the list of available
licenses and make sure it is the default for new projects.
