the point is that PostgreSQL is no GNU product, never has been and if someone intends to he shall do so after yanking out the contributions I made.

The suggested location is %ProgramFiles%\CompanyName\ProductName but GNU products often don't have a "company", so some projects use GNU as the company name.
I'd rather it was simply %ProgramFiles%\PostgreSQL myself.

%ProgramFiles%\GNU\PostgreSQL.
What would be the reason to put PostgreSQL into %ProgramFiles%\GNU ?

I'd vote for %ProgramFiles%\PostgreSQL.

More properly: %ProgramFiles%\PostgreSQL
Another suggestion: %ProgramFiles%\PGDG\PostgreSQL (or even %ProgramFiles%\PGDG\PostgreSQL 7.5). Apache2 uses %ProgramFiles%\Apache Group\Apache2.
Note: Many software uses the %ProgramFiles%\<VendorName>\<ProductName>
convention, but apparently Microsoft itself puts stuffs right under %ProgramFiles% (%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Money, \Internet Explorer, \Windows Media Player, etc).
And then, if they don't like that, let them put it wherever they darn well please.
