Re: The naming question (Postgres vs PostgreSQL)

Josh,

I think what Robert is asking is:

If PostgreSQL becomes Postgres, do you intend to change Command Prompt
to Postgres, Inc.?

I still don't understand what you are asking. I never said it was
significant to me, I said:

Hello,

Before anyone goes down this path too far it is very important that I
disclose (as I have on multiple occasions before) that Command Prompt
owns the name Postgres, Inc (and domains postgresinc.com/net/org).

Although we do not have intention to immediately change our name, I will
note that if the project changes its name, it increases the possibility
that we may do so.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
