Postgres came with those Sunsite Archives, found one from 1996. Interesting selection of software https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/suns...

Oh I'm familiar with Actian, went down that rabbithole reading the history of Postgres a while back. It's owned by an Indian company now.
