Fujitsu is a commercial entity, forced to play by the game stipulated by
current patent laws. That's not mean that they love their patents. I
think it is very far fetched to assume that Fujitsu (or anyone else)
would be offended if we state that we don't like software patents.

I also strongly feel that the PostgreSQL community should express their
opinion freely. Speculations on what opinions a sponsor might or might
not have should really have no significance at all.
