The reality is that MySQL is widely supported by some very, shall we

The biggest headache I find with using postgres is that various GPL
licenced programs have trouble directly shipping postgresql support
because of our use of OpenSSL. Each and every one of those program
needs to add an exception to their licence for distributors to
distribute postgresql support.
Why would that be the case... OpenSSL and PostgreSQL both are BSD
licensed... Am I missing something?

Of course, on that reasoning, they would need to provide a similar
exception for libpq with or without openssl. More and more I love the
fact that we don't play these games.
