Re: Does this look ethical to you?

Thank you, however I'm more concerned with:

"PGLA has many advanced features not found in pgAdmin III,".

Aside from it being slightly misleading (not only are there not many
'advanced' things PGLA can do that pgAdmin can't, there are a similar
number that pgAdmin can, that PGLA can't), it is still attempting to
sell your product on our name. I would therefore ask that you either:

- Not mention pgAdmin at all, or
- Mention not only pgAdmin, but EDB Studio, Navicat, EMS PostgreSQL
Manager and other comparable products *as well*.

I changed it to say PGLA has many advanced GUI features not found in other admin tools.

I play fair Dave, and expect the same from you.

<Why? It is an Open Source package, distributed for free, at the personal
expense of numerous people including myself. Why should we advertise
your or anyone elses commercial products for free?>

Because the installer is not letting it be known that there are alternatives available, I have had many people tell me they had no idea there where was anything else available.

It does not matter that pgAdmin is open source, and letting users know about alternatives is not free advertising, free advertising would be you paying for my Google addwords account.

You guys are doing the same thing as Microsoft did with Internet Explorer, let's include it so our browser/admin tool is all the user knows about or sees when they install the OS, or in this case the SQL server.

A link or blurb should be mentioned that there are other admin tools available or pgAdmin should not be installed either.

I am not saying you put specifics about mine or anyone elses product commercial or open source, but I think links back to the commercial and open source pages on the postgresql site would be a fair thing to do.

You are not letting the user make a choice about which admin tool to use or even try...

Just my opinion on the whole fair competition thing,
