Description

We include some files from PostgreSQL's source code, so I guess we should conform to postgres/COPYRIGHT. We include the copyright notices, but we don't include the two paragraphs that the copyright file makes necessary:

```PostgreSQL Database Management System
(formerly known as Postgres, then as Postgres95)

Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2017, PostgreSQL Global Development Group

Portions Copyright (c) 1994, The Regents of the University of California
