There's nothing curious about it. PostgreSQL isn't paying them any advertising dollars, and isn't a "commercial product" that people pay dollars for. If you review the items on the "ballot," you'll find a virtually complete absence of "free software" on the list of products for people to vote for. This particular poll isn't about "open source" or "free software;" it is about what are the most popular _commercial products_ for Linux. _Pervasive PostgreSQL_ or _Mammoth PostgreSQL_ would be the relevant _products_ to suggest, not the "free software" database, PostgreSQL. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="gmail.com" in name ^ "@" ^ tld;; http://linuxdatabases.info/info/internet.html (About "LyGNUx") - "Your midwife doesn't select the name of your babies." -- Linus Torvalds, May 5, 1999, ABC News ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
