One of the often-stated virtues of PGSQL is that it is easy for a company
to take the source and go commercial. If you start integrating 'special
license greements' into the development, then that advantage is severly
reduced.
A commercial operator has to form an agreement with sleepycat or rewrite
the storage manager. Unless sleepycat grant a completely open license to
PGSQL and all it's commercial descendants in perpetuity, it seems you may
be removing one of the seeling points of PGSQL.
