+1. EnterpriseDB contributes a great deal to the community, and deserves
commensurate recognition within the community. But it always makes me worry
about the real open-source-ness of a project when I have to get pieces of it
-- even for free -- from a clearly commercial source. Thanking EnterpriseDB
for the installer on a PostgreSQL.org page that hosts it seems entirely
reasonable.
