That's not really accurate. MS bought the Sybase code and forked it into
MS SQL Server, but both databases continued. Sybase continued as
"Sybase" for years after the fork, and still exists as a separate
database called SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise. The difference is that
Postgres got a SQL front end and was renamed Postgres95, and then
PostgreSQL to reflect the change, but it was one project continuing on a
direct path. I'd say it's more like calling "Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
just "Red Hat." </extra-pedantic> :-P

Just remember that saying "Postgres" when you mean "PostgreSQL" is a lot
like referring to "Microsoft SQL Server" as "Sybase." </pedantry>
