That's precisely why it says 'Packaged by' prominently in the graphic,
and why in places like the Add/Remove Programs entry, and executable
resources, it says 'PostgreSQL Global Development Group' and 'The
PostgreSQL DBMS, version 8.4, packaged by EnterpriseDB'.

Sure, go for it. I'm not going to ignore any misleading claims that
are made though.

I've never used the original EDB derivative (except maybe for 5
minutes, many years ago), and noone in EDB has any say over what I put
in pgAdmin, other than to make suggestions. Any design principles that
may have changed are therefore entirely down to me (and I think I
earned the right to steer that project a little :-p )..
