Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

He is also the founder of Ingres, Illustra, Cohera, [Stream Base] Systems and Vertica and was previously the CTO of Informix.
This included Stonebraker, who left Berkeley in 1982 to help found Ingres Corporation, which was later sold to [Computer Associates] and was recently re-established as an independent company in 2005. After the sale in 1994, Stonebraker returned to Berkeley. Upon his return he started a "post-ingres" effort to address the limitations of the relational model, naming the new project Postgres. Postgres offered a number of features that effectively made the database "understand" the data inside it, dramatically improving programmability. Postgres was also offered using a [BSD]-like license, and the code forms the basis of today's free software, Postgre S Q L.
