Re: Request to add EnterpriseDB Postgres to Download page

Josh,

The installer is a proprietary product from a third party.  Even we
don't have the source code for it.

Otherwise, all of the components inside are source.

I am against this in its current state (just read before you flame :)).

If we want to list this on PostgreSQL.Org I have no problem with it if
the page also includes links to the complete source (including
installer). It currently doesn't that I can see.

Oh and the Mammoth link is actually wrong. It should be PostgreSQL Core
http://www.commandprompt.com/products/postgresqlcore
