Yup, Sony Online Entertainment springs to mind. They just selected (and
invested in) EnterpriseDB. EnterpriseDB is, at it's core, PostgreSQL but
it has been altered in a number of ways - primarily to enhance Oracle
compatibility so that PG can be more of a drop-in replacement for
programs that require Oracle.

 From their press release:
"EnterpriseDB Advanced Server is the clear open source database choice
because of its PostgreSQL foundation, compatibility with Oracle and the
support of the EnterpriseDB team,“ said Christopher Yates, vice
president of technology at Sony Online Entertainment."

Their whole press-release is at:
