I agree with you but MYSQL did hit that market initially. I remember
when MYSQL got started away back when and what really blow the top off
for it was the integration with PHP. When MYSQL was firmly integrated
into PHP, the top blew off of it and the mailing list became virtually
unreadable. There is no way Rames was going to pay Oracle for their
license fees to develop PHP. And that is just one example.
