« What is PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) based on POSTGRES, Version 4.2 (http://s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU:8000/postgres/postgres.html(...)), developed at the University of California at Berkeley Computer Science Department. The POSTGRES project, led by Professor Michael Stonebraker, was sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Army Research Office (ARO), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and ESL, Inc. PostgreSQL is an open-source descendant of this original Berkeley code. It provides SQL92/SQL99 language support and other modern features. »
Il faut noter que le nom Ingres a suivi la branche proprétaire. Il aurait été plus logique de désigner le fork propriétaire par postgres et conserver Ingres pour le projet libre. Mais enfin, si la licence BSD le permet !
