OK. I thought you were talking about copyright and licences though.

No. The licences never changed on anything - all we did was get it
approved by the OSI, and clarify our *naming* of the licence in
PostgreSQL (and pgAdmin). It's entirely up to the maintainers of each
project on pgFoundry to decide whether the licence text or the licence
name is what they intend, and to carify accordingly for their
projects.

Yes, I believe that is a fair and safe assumption.
