Thanks,
but is it legal to charge for installing PostgreSQL?
as you said:

> You cannot (legitimately) charge the pharmacist for any part PostgresQL

should I in the contract write that the price does not include installing
PostgreSQL, preparing it or PostgreSQL itself?
or just from my side while I am going to set price I have to dont count
installing the PostgreSQL or PostgreSQL itself as a part of that price?
