Yeah. From my viewpoint as a downstream packager, it creates a mess.
We've spent a great amount of effort and cajolery over the years to make
sure that the Postgres sources, including contrib, are uniformly
licensed. We're not going to abandon that policy.
I have no idea whether Red Hat could be persuaded to relicense
pg_filedump. It might be worth asking though.
