Can you explain how Enova would use the recognition?

I thought of a few things - like: easier to recruit other developers
(maybe specifically Postgres devs) who are interested in open source,
raise the profile of the company among investors who like to see that
a company isn't dependent on proprietary software at their core.  I
couldn't think of any others though.
