This isn't really a bug, but...

Yes. You are allowed to do that. Just include a file with the
PostgreSQL license and copyright.  This is how I did it for a derived
work:

"""

Copyright (c) 2012-2013, Heroku
All rights reserved.

Portions are derived from the PostgreSQL Project.  The copyright for
those can be found in POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT.  Otherwise, the license is
as follows:
"""

The license I have chosen is afterwards.  POSTGRES-COPYRIGHT is just a
copy of the postgres COPYRIGHT file.
