Our lawyer agrees, copyright is covered by the "PostgreSQL Global Development 
Group" copyright line as a contributor.

According to one of Intel’s lawyers, 55 instances of this clause was found when 
they searched in the PostgreSQL repository. Therefore, I assume that this 
obligation has either been satisfied or determined not to apply, given that the 
second BSD clause already appears in the PostgreSQL source tree. I might have 
misunderstood the concern, but the lawyer believes this is a non-issue. Could 
you please provide more clarifying details about the concern?

Thanks,
Paul
