No.  They own Berkeley DB (they acquired Sleepycat Software
about three years ago, who developped Berkeley DB since 1996).

PostgreSQL, which also originates from Berkeley, is developed
by a global group of volunteers, much like FreeBSD.  It is
distributed under a very liberal license:  a zero-clause BSD-
style license.

Best regards
