This question has been discussed at least 100 times at least on pgsql-hackers 
by PostgreSQL developpers. If you want to learn more about it, just read the 
posts.

There is a large consensus not to change the present copyright, just because 
it is impossible for legal reasons : all authors must agree, which is not the 
case.
