For what it's worth, guys, it would be trivially easy to create a
little boilerplate-style wiki template that says "This page describes
a commerical product, and does not necessarily reflect a view or
endorsement by the PostgreSQL community", or whatever other wording
that might help to allay concerns. It's then just a matter of
mandating that these commercial pages include the template.
From my own point of view, I'm not even sure what a "commercial abuse"
of the wiki would consist of. If a company wants to
advertise/brag/hype/promote a product which is based on Postgres on
the wiki, how is that a detriment to the project, exactly?
Cheers,
BJ
