pros and cons of open source
A recent article cautions against open source databases. While caution is always good thing, the sword can cut both ways. There are plenty of websites and other smaller applications for which an enterprise database like Oracle might be overkill both in terms of budget, and firepower. But I still maintain that the Open Source databases will remain their own niche for some time to come.
Another article discusses a potential legal timebomb because Open Source conflicts with traditional intellectual property. ADTI's financing may be a factor too.
