Postgres team did its own with Larry too :D

== PostgreSQL Weekly News - April 01 2010 ==

Following the trend towards NoSQL database management, the core team
has announced its intention to replace SQL with QUEL in 9.1, which
will be called PostgreQUEL.  QUEL beat Erlang as a replacement
language, mostly because PostgreIBelieveIDidBob was too hard to spell.

Bruce Momjian commented, "Obviously allowing the storage of
unstructured data is more flexible because both structured and
unstructured data can be stored in the same system.  After all, a
relational table with 30 columns is really just 30 key/value pairs,"
while David Fetter, taking his usual exquisitely diplomatic tone,
said, "The relational model is outmoded and overhyped."

After personally tracking down every copyright holder for PostgreQUEL,
Larry Ellison announced his buy-out of the entire PostgreQUEL Global
Development Group.  "It wasn't easy prying the copyrights out of all
those widows' and orphans' hands, but it was worth it," he said in a
statement from his new home, a refrigerator box atop a steam grate in
San Francisco.

== PostgreQUEL 9.1 Feature of the Week ==

Distributed map-reduce functions in Erlang.

== PostgreSQL Tip of the Week ==

You don't really need to bother with all those tables and relations.
Just create a single 3-column table: ID, attribute, value.

I wish it is the same, and would check for an update in their blog.. If the
licensing is same, may be it is not bad with all those money and backing
from oracle. Let us see.
