PostgreSQL in the French news

Dear devs,

For your information, "PostgreSQL" appears explicitely in the list of
"Free software" cited by the French Prime Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, in
his "Circulaire" (i.e. a kind of "instruction" to civil servants) signed
last week. See on page 9 and 18 of the pdf (not the pages of the document
which are shifted). Obviously, the document is in French...

http://circulaire.legifrance.gouv.fr/pdf/2012/09/cir_35837.pdf

The spirit of the document does not seem to make the use of free software
mandatory, but to require that it is at least considered for any project
in which the "administration" (i.e. the public sector, not the government
as in the USA) is involved.
