It's in the postgres v4r2 tarball with a file date of 1993-01-08,
which means nobody around the current project has a clue.

IANAL either, but I think it'd be fairly hard for anyone to assert a
copyright on it given that it's a compilation of publicly available
facts, and is surely not in the same format the information was
originally published in anyhow.
