I think that's the crux. First you've got a DBMS that a small percentage of people are running and a lot of potential users write if off without properly considering it due to misconceptions and then you've got an OS that a small percentage of people are running and a lot of potential users write if off without properly considering it due to misconceptions. It's a major double whammy.
I've also spoken to the folks at jBase about a port, and they gave basically the same "Show us a business case." response. The real interesting difference was that (at that time) they weren't really interested in selling the database as a product, but selling the license for somebody else to resell as part of their vertical application. If somebody's got something in the works, that might be the tack to take with IBM.
