Please don't make this assumption. PostgreSQL is *very* much on their radar,
and probably represents the biggest long-term threat to their core database
business at the moment. We got a hint of that during the .org bidding, but
for now it is in Oracle's interest not to call attention to PostgreSQL.
The last thing they want is publicity for the project. We may be a harder
target to hurt than MySQL, but we are a target, make no mistake about it.
I'm sure PostgreSQL is on the radar of Sybase, Microsoft, and IBM as well.
