The PGDG has never asked for copyright assignments from contributors (as
I gather the PHP folks do), so the copyright to Postgres is collectively
owned by everyone who has contributed to it, and not by the PGDG itself
(as Peter said). Relicensing would require the consent of all copyright
holders.

And that simply isn't possible.
