Maybe I missed it, but is the licensing info available anywhere? The playground seems to be using v86.js I don't see the required "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice" -- https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/master/LICENSE

Late to this, hadn't noticed until now. We have the license included and linked from from inside the VM as it starts up.

v86 is an interesting choice, I wonder why they couldn't compile Postgres itself with Emscripten (AFAIK it's all C code).

I'm assuming there are too many details like syscalls and file system specific APIs that they needed a lower level virtualization?
