A rule of thumb is - you can do anything you want with = it (the PG software inc. its source), except claim you wrote it, as long = as you preserve the original license-file(s).
 
I take it that the OP has an app/dataset on top of PG = he/she wishes to market (and protect).  Perfectly legit, no? Not = clear if there is a desire to disable direct db access.
