Well, honestly... if the commercial entity wants to help, they shouldn't
have a problem promoting just PostgreSQL. It certainly doesn't stop them
from talking about "why" or "how" they are promoting.

Hey, yep I am Bruce, I work for EnterpriseDB and I am here promoting
PostgreSQL, thus the T-shirt, here is some greated printed materials on
PostgreSQL, more information on EnterpriseDB can be found in the folder
as well. Oh and by the way, the EDB booth is 50 yards to your left.

Oh you are looking for 24x7 PostgreSQL support? Well let me get you over
to Joshua Drake. He is a PostgreSQL contributor as well and he founded
Command Prompt, Inc., the best 24x7 PostgreSQL provider available.

;)

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
