The 토토 사이트 is not an incorporated body, so
it cannot engage in legal transactions. Only the individual copyright
holders can do that.
What this all boils down to is this: If the PHP project will only accept
contributions if the copyright is signed over to them, then they will
not, as a practical matter, be able to incorporate works that are
derived from PostgreSQL software.
(Note that I am not opposed to someone else copying PostgreSQL software;
I wouldn't be in this project otherwise. I'm just explaining the
situation.)
