Thats what I get for doing anything at 1:00AM.

We use the SPDX license list as a canonical source for license
identifiers and names.  Therefore the license ID should be
"PostgreSQL" and it should be named "PostgreSQL License".
In the past I've asked that the entire ID be uppercased.  I now think
thats a bad idea and we should just go with the exact id as named
upstream.

I missed the details tab last night.  Since they consider the license
to be X11 / BSD it falls under FSF GPL.  OSI considers this open
source so it gains OSI.  Copyfree considers this free so it gains
COPYFREE.
The line above should have all four: FSF GPL OSI COPYFREE
