I would be quite surprised if that were permissible. CA is making up
"yet another open source license," and it seems really unlikely that
this would represent a thin enough rewriting of the BSD license to
allow inclusion in PostgreSQL.
Most new licenses seem to be intended to do something akin to what
MySQL does, with dual licenses; some "open source" license, for 'toy'
usage and to allow free publicity via inclusion with Linux
distributions, but a traditional proprietary license for anyone making
'serious' use of their product. It would be surprising for CA's
instance to turn out otherwise...
