The difference is that you could now correct for Great Bridge's problems, which include but are not limited to: timing (4 years has changed a lot for commercial acceptance of open source), funding ($25m was too much), and strategy (this is not an quick attempt to copy Red Hat).
I think such a project, with the right parameters, is very fundable. If anyone wants to talk about that, you should drop me an email off-list; we're probably stepping out of topic for the hacker and advocacy lists.
Why would someone fund a "new" PostgreSQL project when there are several viable commercial entities doing the job right now?
