Why give all our code to a organisation that doesn't exist? On the $PostgreSQL$ issue, I think it's best to have the tag everywhere, so if these files were the only ones that had it, I'd rather add them to the rest ... -- Alvaro Herrerahttp://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see him asking to remove the copyright. We certainly have copyrights attributed to individual people.
