Well, not to be a stickler, but the GNU GPL has an additional restriction
which makes it what it is.  All derived works are under the GPL and if you
distribute the program, it must include the source (or have a link to
where you can get it).  This is the meat of the GPL, and is what
distinguishes it from the BSD license, which PostgreSQL is under.
