I dug into this and found this at the top of the installation notes file
that is created once you install the product, at
/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/doc/installation-notes.html:

   Legal Bits

   First the boring legal stuff. The software bundled together in this
   package is released under a number of different Open Source licences.
   By using any component of this installation package, you agree to
   abide by the terms and conditions of it's licence.

   The PostgreSQL Server and pgAdmin are released under the PostgreSQL
   License.

   This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for
   use in the OpenSSL Toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org/)

I also found this:

	http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/products-overview/licensing
	http://www.enterprisedb.com/ba/foss-licenses

Now, this doesn't directly mention the installer, which is gone at the
time this is installed.  I know it has the same license as Postgres, but
where is that documented.  Dave, any ideas?
