How about something like this, avoiding any such BSD/GPL comparison:


The PostgreSQL project was originated using the BSD license. Over the
years many people have contributed code and effort understanding that
their work would be licensed using the BSD license. The leaders of the
PostgreSQL project, as an entity, do not believe that it would be right
to change the implied agreement under which the entirety of the project
was developed.
