Questions about PostgreSQL Setup License
Hello,
I read on your website that PostgreSQL source code is free for use and modification, but in my case I am working on a project where we are generating our own setup and we would like to integrate PostgreSQL setup within it.
Are we also allowed to do that ?
Thanks in advance for your response,
Yours sincerely,

Why are you posting this to the -bugs mailing list?
The answer is yes, though IANAL, and that does not constitute legal
advice. However, there are a number of fairly prominent full
commercial forks, so I think you're safe.

This isn't really a bug, but...
Yes. You are allowed to do that. Just include a file with the
PostgreSQL license and copyright. This is how I did it for a derived
work:
"""
Copyright (c) 2012-2013, Heroku
All rights reserved.
Portions are derived from the PostgreSQL Project. The copyright for
those can be found in POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT. Otherwise, the license is
as follows:
"""
The license I have chosen is afterwards. POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT is just a
copy of the postgres COPYRIGHT file.
