It would be more beneficial for whole community to contribute to Postgres.
We already have fairly superior commercial solution, like Informix Dynamic Server family, which is superior in everything, except compatibility with MS, that lost "competition" (to meme-based popularity) to crap like MySQL or bloatware like Oracle.
This is, again, good publicity and excellent PR action, but my bet is that performance and especially stability will be poor, like it is with .Net port or Skype port. To bring a server to the market requires expertise with target platform which very few UNIX shops has.
Open sourcing IDS, which has remarkable technology inside, which is partially related to Postgres, would be a much better move.)
