Hi all,

It may be useful to include a link below the final statement to this
(and/or other) threads on BSD/GPL license discussion. As much as a license
FAQ item is about informing users about the license and why it
specifically is used, it needs also to deter people from the 'WHY ISN'T
POSTGRES xyz LICENSE?' mailing list post.

Something as simple as 'Changing postgres to another license has already
been discussed at length over the years. See the following urls' would
help. After all, it seems that the frequently asked question 'Why isn't
Postgres GPL'd?' not 'Why is Postgres released under a BSD License?'

Thanks,

Gavin
