Wow! And wow again!

My first reaction is that this is really cool. I haven't looked at it
in depth, being entirely unqualified to do so, but that's my first
reaction. My second reaction is wondering whether the X license is
compatible with the BSD license, and I'm even less qualified to answer
that. But I'd love to hear from those more knowledgeable in both areas
if this can help PostgreSQL.
