Ron,

You're right, we should publish this somewhere.  If you believe that you have
knowledge of a specific, genuine infringement, then you should send the
information you have to pgsql-core (and not to a public mailing list).  Core
will then seek legal help if it looks like the risk is serious.

Any idea where we could put that policy up that people would see it?
