About PostgreSQL

1. Who owns PostgreSQL?
  It's a project, not a company... The PostgreSQL Project is a meritocracy governed by a core committee of long-term contributors. PostgreSQL offers many advantages for your company or business over other database systems. The BSD style license encourages significant innovation and long-term contributions from a wide range of individual and corporate sponsors.

The people involved with TPOSTGRES LLC have been and will continue to be involved with the PostgreSQL Global Community for years. We are but a small part of a large community that continues to improve on the world's most advanced open source database.
