That might well be true -- however, the funds held by SPI Inc. on the
behalf of PostgreSQL cannot be used to refund the travel expenses, which
is what I think Josh is alluding to.

(I know this very well because I'm travelling there later this month to
teach a PG week-long course, and our liaison told me it was no use
applying for a refund due to US govt. limitations. So I have to pay for
the expenses out of my own pocket.)
