BY-NC-SA is needed because the image itself is BY-NC-SA. If i had the
choice i would have put it under BY-SA. I'm open to any other CC
licensed media that could replace the current pictures.

Anyway my understanding is that the purpose of this flyer is already
"non commercial" because it advertise a new version a free software
build by a community that doesn't have any commercial activities.

So as a company you can distribute this document to your customers, the
purpose of the flyer remains "non commercial"....

What you can't do is modify the document to add your company logo or
describe your company services inside the flyer. I'm not sur this is a
problem, if it is i can release a BY-SA version of the flyer without the
front image.

FTR, i found the expression "Great Leap Forward" in the "what's new"
page on the wiki :

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/What%27s_new_in_PostgreSQL_9.0#Streaming_Replication

I was also incomfortable with this expression so i removed the "Forward"
in the flyer. I was thinking that it would then be closer the Neil's
Armstrong "Great Leap for Mankind" but obviously it didn't work that way :)

I'm ok to remove completely that expression and replace it by :

"Streaming Replication is the second half of PostgreSQL's new redundancy
system"

Thanks for the comments and feedback !
