I don't want to add gas to the flamewar, but I gotta ask. What is in
the the 90 to 95% referred to in this email.

As a cynic, I might ask, what Oracle is fearing?
As a realist, I might ask, how many times do we have to answer this
type of anti-commercial-database flamewar-starting question?
Depends? How many times are you going to antagonize the people that
ask?
1. It has *nothing* to do with anti-commercial. It is anti-
proprietary which is perfectly legitimate.
2. Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM have a "lot" to fear in the sense of
a database like PostgreSQL. We can compete in 90-95% of cases where
people would traditionally purchase a proprietary system for many,
many thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of dollars.
