In a nutshell? It helps EnterpriseDB continue to employ people like
me, Bruce, Heikki, Greg, Pavan and the various other people from the
company you see working on PostgreSQL. Startups need VC funding to
operate until they become big enough to look after themselves -
without it, we'd be looking for jobs elsewhere and maybe only working
on PostgreSQL in our spare time.
