Yes, it is critically important that IBM keep the rich elite well fed. Microsoft is no better WRT pricing. And are actively trying to go from a permanent license to graduated (by core) yearly license like Oracle. Can _you_ say "Linux", "OpenBSD", "NetBSD" or "FreeBSD"? Combine with PostgreSQL or MariaDB (MySQL fork) and Apache or NGINX and you're got a great start for an OLTP system. -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
