the license will not be an issue for us unless we want to bundle it;
but it could be for people making a 'full solution' kind of thing; but
if we are planning on supporting both this isn't a big deal.

I personally would have a slight preference for postgres because I
find it easier to setup and maintain as an admin. But that, too, is
not too relevant.

So I really don't have a strong opinion :) If dhcp is already using it
I guess it'd make sense to go for mysql first.
