I agree with Jim here. We don't have to make a big deal in the releaseWe can debate about whether the license should be mentioned in the
release or not, but I definitely think that there's still a whole lot of
people who should be educated about our license and what it means to

but it should be
mentioned. A simple one liner:
PostgreSQL is licensed under the truly free BSD license.
Yes it is a little flame bait but it works.
before my join the idea was to use MySQL because the general idea was:
it's free. I spent some days before to make them understand that MySQL for
their project was not free and in the other side Posgresql is, in last
periods arguments as: MySQL doesn't have transaction doesn't work anymore.
Unfortunatelly is common believing that GNU, BSD, GPL licenses are totally
free. I think it's better specify that with Postgres you can do whatever
you want without any obligation of any sort now and for ever.
