This isn't really a bug, but...

Yes. You are allowed to do that. Just include a file with the
PostgreSQL license and copyright. This is how I did it for a derived
work:

"""

Copyright (c) 2012-2013, Heroku
All rights reserved.

Portions are derived from the PostgreSQL Project. The copyright for
those can be found in POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT. Otherwise, the license is
as follows:
"""

The license I have chosen is afterwards. POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT is just a
copy of the postgres COPYRIGHT file.
