Today I've d-loaded PostgreSQL 7.3.4.
I've seen in
$PGSQLD/doc/html/index.html

shouldn't it be 2003?

I've sent this to pgsql-docs@postgresql.org before.

We only update the copyright notices when we are preparing a major
release. (Bruce just did it a week or two back for 7.4, for example.)
Updating for minor releases would create a lot of churn in the stable
CVS branches, for little purpose.

I'm curious, has anyone consulted with a lawyer on this?
(We wouldn't want SCO to sue PostgreSQL for this! =D Heheh.)

Yes, the lawyer concluded that the number "2003" had been both registered as a
trademark and a patented invention. Therefore, it is very likely that
Humanity will be able to jump directly to the next non-registered digit,
which is the year 200440033, called 'year of innovation', which also happens
to be the price asked by the lawyer for bringing us into the future.

Heheh! I think you should ask that lawyer for your money back because
his conclusions are questionable. Also, if the lawyer charged you for
"bringing you into the future," then that in itself is also questionable
unless he/she is able to travel through time. ;-D
