By changing "Interactive installer by EnterpriseDB" to "EnterpriseDB",
you do 2 things:

1) Introduce inconsistency by naming some entries for their author,
and others by their type (e.g. "Homebrew")

2) Force users to read the "named by vendor" sections in more depth to
see if their offering is of the type the user is looking for.
