it makes me a bit uncomfortable, too.  but on the other hand,
if you're giving away supported software that someone could
reasonably use to turn a postgres proof-of-concept system 
into a production system, i doubt you'd get many flames for
mailing it in.

heavy sales advertising would be a bad idea, i agree.  and if 
the kala guys start bombing us, i'll start getting get mad.
(kala has no data model, no query language, ... so it's not a
reasonable substitute.)
