I'm currently downloading Ingres, the formerly CA-ed dbms. http://www.ingres.com/ is where it's at, more specifically at http://www.ingres.com/products/Prod_Download_Portal.html :
"Ingres 2006 is available under a dual licensing model. Under this model, users may choose to use Ingres under the GNU General Public License or under a commercial license. ISVs and Resellers, who are embedding and reselling Ingres as part of their own commercial solutions, can purchase a commercial license." "This is the Ingres 2006 source tree. The current version is a gzip tar file, additional versions will be available for other platforms. This source code is copyrighted by Ingres Corporation and all rights are reserved. This source code is released under the GNU General Public License." Before Ingres Corp set up, it was available under a complex and almost impenetrable Open Source license from CA; I've got that version, but never felt like doing anything with it. But what a different in size from University Ingres! Ingres source directory in 4.2BSD, unpacked, comes to 1.5 MB; Ingres 2006 tarball comes to 93 MB! And since Ingres 2006 _is_ GPLed, I may well start playing with it. Does anyone think there would be a place for a discussion of Ingres 2006 sometime later this year?
