Unfortunately, yes I have. I had to help several users who got burned by 
it: the patch was buggy as all-get out.  For example, it wouldn't access 
TOAST tables, so any TEXT fields larger than 500chars got cut off; and 
wouldn't support user-added data types or domains.  (This was a year ago, 
so maybe Evgen fixed these things)

So it's really nice of Evgen to re-license, but the license was *not* the 
primary thing blocking acceptance of the patch.
