Unless I'm missing something, eDB and EnterpriseDB are not different companies. We started off with a little 'e' and have moved to EDB as our abbreviation.

Well yes actually. Again I am not being negative here but the booth at
OSCON was the PostgreSQL.Org booth. If you note all the name tags they
ALL said PostgreSQL.Org not Command Prompt or SRA America. The main
banner was PostgreSQL.Org as well.

I am not suggesting that we don't work with EnterpriseDB (you might want
to take note, eDB is a different PostgreSQL company then EnterpriseDB).
Heck I beat Denis twice in golf, I will work with him anytime ;).

Yes it does. All I am saying is that I wanted PostgreSQL.Org to be the
main entity at the booth and that the companies should be secondary.
