... sort of.  As an afterthought to a discussion of the Progress/NuSphere/PeerDirect tussle with MySQL:

"Now he says he is cautious about working with GPL software. Instead, Progress uses an open source database program
distributedunder the less onerous Berkeley Software Distribution license."

As the FSF gets more and more ambitious with their GPL enforcement, this further highlights the business-friendly
natureof the PostgreSQL BSD license.
