I should point out that we inherited GPL'd code, thus "which license" 
isn't an issue.  If someone asks me why we don't use the BSD license I 
have a very simple answer for them.

Which should be the case with PG.  The original authors released it 
under the Berkely license and "which license" shouldn't be an issue.  I 
still don't understand why more needs to be said.  If people are too 
clueless to understand this, let them remain clueless and ignore them.

IMHO, that is.
