Huh? When? I, and several others, picked up Postgres95 from the
University of California at Berkeley, following the graduate studies of
Andrew and Jolly, in 1996 ... there has been no copyright change since
then (wish someone had mentioned soon that alther we didn't do any
copyright changes, Berkeley did *sigh*) ...

Prior to that, Postgres95 was a graduate project, that, if I recall
correctly, Andrea and Jolly took on to move Postgres from a PostQuel based
to an SQL based server, but that part of the history I may be wrong on ...

Since '96, there has only been one development effort on PostgreSQL
... that I'm aware of ...
