Yes, but: 1. this is a problem in the OSI website, not in the Postgres website or licensing file. 2. note that this file is not a license, but a license template. If you want to use this license, you're supposed to replace those keywords with the name of your organization. I would think that if you use the template and replace $ORGANIZATION with a name but fail to replace $ORGANISATION with the same name, then your lawyer is not worth very much. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "La primera ley de las demostraciones en vivo es: no trate de usar el sistema.
