want to change it. If you are keen to read more about this topic, then please
take a look in the <a href="/list/">Archives</a> at

<h2>Will PostgreSQL ever be released under a different license?</h2>
<p>
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group remains committed to making
PostgreSQL available as free and open source software in perpetuity. There are
no plans to change the PostgreSQL License or release PostgreSQL under a
different license.
