If you are looking to move to an open source database system and you install
EnterpriseDB then you have done something wrong because that product is
neither open source, nor compatible to anything open source, nor supported by
an open source community. Of course that doesn't mean that there are no
reasons to use EnterpriseDB but I can't see them affecting the adoption of
PostgreSQL proper in a negative way. (I can see them affecting the adoption
in a positive way, so yay...)
