Perhaps just me but it was really about perception. If I extended
BackRest to work with MySQL (shudders) then I thought it would be weird
if it used the PostgreSQL license.
Anyway, now BackRest is now pretty solidly pgBackRest and I don't have
any immediate plans to port to other database systems so the point is
probably moot.
