Community PostgreSQL handles situations like this just fine. If you
want public help, you have come to the right place on this mailing
list. If you want help on other terms--say, non-disclosure
agreement--there are plenty of companies including mine,
<http://www.pgexperts.com/>, that will be happy to work with you.

Cheers,
David.
