Interesting, although IIRC EnterpriseDB is actually a proprietary vendor, who contributes heavily to PostgreSQL, in an Open Core strategy.
Besides, I don't like very much the deal "it's a time of crisis, we need to reduce our costs, so we settle for inferior, lower quality products, then we choose open source". Thus open source = cheap; proprietary = prime class. Especially for the Public sector, the major drivers should also be the lock-in avoidance and the positive spillover effects (growing an ecosystem of possible provider of the same project and extensions, knowledge, etc.). Thanks, however, a good starter.
