Right, this would be just for 'The United States PostgreSQL
Association', aka PgUS (https://postgresql.us).  There's other
non-profits in other places, of course (eg: PostgreSQL Europe,
https://www.postgresql.eu/).  Perhaps that comes up as an organization
for Amazon or Paypal for folks in Europe..?

PG.EU is technically under French law, if that's relevant.

Thanks!
