All,

EnterpriseDB would like to do a survey of PostgreSQL users, at least the
ones they can reach through postgresql.org. The results of the survey,
anonymized, will be published under an OSS license for our use.

Under these circumstances, is it OK for EnterpriseDB to use
pgsql-announce, pgsql-general and/or postgresql.org News to advertise
the survey and solicit users for it? My personal thought is "yes". Yours?

List of questions below my signature; suggestions on better questions
welcome!
