I dont think forking the code is fraud and any claim they have that it
is, when it was *them* that chose to release under the gpl which
specifically allows forks to occur would be very questionable.

I wouldnt want to be the test case either, however if they dont like the
gpl they shouldnt have picked it.  How can they in all honesty sue
postgress for a gpl violation and then say the gpl doesnt apply to the
very same code when they are on the other side of the fence?
