You can still use postgresql if the developers decide to stop making postgres, or stop making it free, as it is likely it will be forked and continued by others (like XFree86 forked into Xorg). And, you won't run into annoying licence agreements that you can't use it on machines with two CPU's... In my experience as sysadmin, I prefer free licenses (open source) software so much above commercial software. Something to think about.
