I imagine the response will be zero, but an interesting one to add would be
6) Included with or embedded in another application, appliance, or device
It would really be interesting to know how many different embedded usages of Postgres there are and how many people know it is even there.

Actually, 3 doesn't necessarily == source install either, since almost all
"ports" are available as pre-built binaries that you can download and
install ... its still all considered part of the "Ports Collection" though
...
Same as with Linux, where you can download either the .rpm or the .srpm, I
believe?
But, I agree with Robert's list, vs this one, since "Ports" should be
classified as "With Operating System Distribution" ... try and make it
more generic, since we don't mention Solaris packages in the above, etc
...
