> the main original author of this software was/is a hero in the fight against system oppression

...is this a reference to Assange? IIRC, his contributions were ~0.7% of the commits in 1996, focused on psql and libpq. Promoting him to "main original author" is quite a leap.



My mistake, not the main contributor or orignal author, just a mere contributor. Assange, yes. All there rest stands I think.
