As a largely pointless data sample, when I wrote a blog posting
bemoaning the "least common denominator" of MySQL, I had several
people write me that the reason it was popular was that "it's free,
and no other is."

Beat the drum. Don't attack (that's my job :-), but make it clear that
not only is PostgreSQL "free" (as in beer) it's "business friendly."
