You seem to be working for EnterpriseDB, which is a company specializing on postgres. So how does EnterpriseDB sell the advanced server? By modifying it, I guess! So that is something similar I want to do. Getting a few dollars for some hard work is not bad for me. Plus I love to find new things, so it would be fun as well.
I would surely include the PostgreSQL licence in the product (if I get successful to) and sell it to a few peopl who are looking for some specific features and are pissed off with the great MySQL.
Thanks to both DAVE and Heikki :)

1. PostgreSQL can be distributed freely according to the license terms. Can

You will have a hard time finding anyone to buy it, though, because you can download it for free from the PostgreSQL website. 2. Does the license restrict me from adding my closed source additions to
the project and then sell the product? I want to add in a few files here and
there which would be closed source in nature, while all the changes made to
the original files will be open, and then sell the modified database with a
dual license. Is this possible?
