They are not commercial. Postgres Plus is commercial. I package the
PostgreSQL installers myself, in parallel with the existing Windows
one, and they are entirely OS. the only difference is that they
include a small logo stating they were packaged by EnterpriseDB.

You most certainly are, and I resent the continued assertion that we
require any registration for these downloads. We don't, and we never
have. There is no data collection on the download page whatsoever,
only on pages linked from there. If others feel that we shouldn't link
to such pages from the download page, I will arrange to have them
moved elsewhere.
