They are all licensed, it comes down to what the license restrictions 
are. The community edition essentially has no restrictions and is free. 
Commercial forks will have restrictions and will cost.

PostgreSQL is not a company.  The PostgreSQL Global Development Group 
the body that oversees it is a non-profit.

Per my previous post companies that deal with Postgres can be found here:
