Coming to a court near you:

* PostgreSQL Inc. vs Great Bridge LLC

Violation of trademark by operating a postgresql.com web site

* PostgreSQL Inc. vs Nedscape Communications (Ned Lilly)

Violation of trademark by operating postgres.{com,org,net}

* AOL/Time Warner vs Nedscape Communications

Well, you figure that one out.
