Thanks a lot.
Could someone confirm the following my recognition ?
 The LPGL package could add and release a copy of some Postgres BSD licensed code as LGPL ones together with the
currentLGPL code and then the package is still entirely LGPL. When some changes are made on the LGPL but originally BSD
licencsedcode, we can't reflect the changes to the orignal Postgres code.
