I don't think it is common.  I didn't add that part, so if you also
think it is rare, I will remove that distinction.  New text:
   <li>PostgreSQL is licensed under a BSD license.  By posting a patch   to the public PostgreSQL mailling lists, you
aregiving the PostgreSQL   Global Development Group the non-revokable right to distribute your   patch under the BSD
license. If the patch is not BSD-licensed, it   will be rejected.</li>
