The wording is a "little" hokey but it does explicitly state:
"released by the Postgres community"
On the one hand it does continue their Machiavellian pursuit of making
all things PostgreSQL about EDB.
On the other, there are far more enterprises that are going to read a
release about PostgreSQL from EDB than PGDG.
I am unsure if the net profit for the community is a plus or minus on
this one. I am sure that any policy we have on the matter would be
ignored by EDB marketing, which is their right really.
Sincerely,
JD
