How to keep track of all the trademarks? I'll try the strategy used at
www.qnx.com - thomas

--
There is no legal requirement to make trademark acknowledgements in
references to third party products that happen to have trademarked
names.

The exception would be if <productname>PostgreSQL</>
 were to license a particular
trademark and the trademark holder makes this requirement (as in the
case of UNIX and Java).

What is not allowed, however, is to use a trademark name in a way that
could lead people to believe that they label <productname>PostgreSQL</> products.
E.g., "the <productname>PostgreSQL</> UNIX database system" would probably be illegal,
whereas "<productname>PostgreSQL</>, which runs on many UNIX computer systems" is
fine.  This is independent of whether a trademark acknowledgement is
made.
