Yes. The license is saying explicitly that there are no fees for you to
use PostgreSQL, not that you must allow others to use something
containing PostgreSQL without fees.

The license asks that you include the license *for PostgreSQL* in your
product, but does not require that the PostgreSQL license cover any
other part of your system.
