I don't think it is common. I didn't add that part, so if you also
think it is rare, I will remove that distinction. New text:

<li>PostgreSQL is licensed under a BSD license. By posting a patch
to the public PostgreSQL mailling lists, you are giving the PostgreSQL
Global Development Group the non-revokable right to distribute your
patch under the BSD license. If the patch is not BSD-licensed, it
will be rejected.</li>
