here is a summary of issues with moving Postgres/EnterpriseDB fork into the mainstream business environment.. there are some severe accusations
contained in this summary

"EnterpriseDB, and to a large extent, the open source PostgreSQL community has largely focused on the technical requirements of database architects and administrators. When the company speaks about its products and solutions, it tends to speak about the technical aspects of the technology and why it is good enough to be the foundation of today's applications.
Dealing with today's decision process

I'm not aware of a single development tool or application framework supplier that leads with EntepriseDB or PostgreSQL. "
