You're welcome to do that:

"""
Best of all, PostgreSQL's source code is available under a liberal
open source license: the PostgreSQL License. This license gives you
the freedom to use, modify and distribute PostgreSQL in any form you
like, open or closed source. Any modifications, enhancements, or
changes you make are yours to do with as you please. As such,
PostgreSQL is not only a powerful database system capable of running
the enterprise, it is a development platform upon which to develop
in-house, web, or commercial software products that require a capable
RDBMS.
