GPL Licence

PostgreSQL,

Please help me.  I need to understand how you see the bounderies of the 
GPL licence.

I want to use PostgreSQL as the server of a commercial (non GPL) 
application.   All PostgreSQL components will be clearly marked GPL with 
URL to sourse code, and readable GPL, to the satisfaction of PostgreSQL.

Can you please tell me whether that is acceptable under your 
understanding of the GPL?

Specifically, with respect to MySQL take on the GPL, where the use of 
API's and lib's are seen as an extension to the main code, and therefore 
 all applications must be GPL, or have a bespoke licence, or be illigal.

Or other people who think that the use of API's and lib's form a logical 
abstracted boundery between the server and client, therefore not 
extending the product, therefore allowing commercial applications which 
are not GPL.

Can you please let me know whether we can use PostgrSQL or not?

Thanks,

Ben Clewett.
