Isn't it? Its PostgreSQL packaged for Windows, no? Same software, just packaged for easy install ... the only thing I think should be different is that the logo be clickable back to the main web site ... but they do state that its a "native Windows port of PostgreSQL database." so it isn't as if they are trying to hide it ... ---- Marc G.

IMHO, use of it should be available as long as it is used to represent the project (ie. for UltraSQL, I think it is okay since they are referring to, and linking to, the project right beside it) ... ---- Marc G.

Not exactly. It is the NuSphere (AKA PeerDirect) native Win32 port of PostgreSQL, which is based on 7.2.1 (they didn't even bother to apply a 7.2.1 - 7.2.4 delta yet). I don't think the full source code is available and the stuff is not at all peer reviewed by the PostgreSQL community.

The PostgreSQL is under BSD License but it doesn't imply that every product derivate from it could use the same "publicity" as the original project. ppl can be false ideas from PostgreSQL if it eventually occurs. We need to be tight in this point. That's my opinion.
