Eh, but if the submitting company has patents, would it not be dishonest to publish as PGDG copyright & license with no attached patent grant? Some other company deriving a proprietary fork from Postgres could later be sued by the submitting company, because there is no legal standing for them to use the patented code. TBH I don't understand how can we dual-license the code in a manner that protects those proprietary forks. Can you (Andres) explain what is the idea? -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
