So PostgreSQL is open core, because it's an open source product that people have taken and made paid proprietary addons for additional functionality. Literally what your definition is. I swear, this entire fiasco is utter stupidity and has caused countless worthless debates. This is no big deal. Anyone who thinks this is a big deal doesn't have a clue and should just stop now.

"open core" describes the business model, not the product. PostgreSQL is an open-source product with many vendors who have an open-core business built on top, offering their own proprietary products and services.
