True, but Oracle understands databases. Luca (we met in Austin last year): you will have to fight hard for autonomy and constantly prove the relevance of OrientDB within a company with other priorities. Remember what happened to CompuServe after H&R Block bought them - Block intended to keep the product alive, but really bought them for their computing hardware and wouldn't give them the capital needed to compete against AOL's marketing. Oops... don't let CC forget that story!
