As Tom Lane said when this was first raised over a year ago:

"The BSD license is not antithetical to living beside non-free stuff
(unlike GPL). I agree it would be a good idea to point out somewhere in
the relevant docs that the elephant image isn't BSD'd, just so no one
mistakenly thinks it is."

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-www/2004-12/msg00278.php

Omar Kilani also proposed the text to exclude the image from the BSD
license -- I'm not sure if this was ever added to a license file, but
that's where it belongs.

As this was resolved, and the image has been used on the website since
December 2004, I'm not sure why it's necessary to expend resources
debating this issue again.

Anyway, as I said, there is no problem using the image for any
PostgreSQL-related websites or graphics so long as the original license
is adhered to.
