Not OSS, but licensing for Oracle's web-based APEX is included with the
database (e.g. free to use with Oracle XE). The reporting can be easy if
you have a license for BI Publisher, but I didn't think that the free XSLT
w/Apache FOP was too difficult. Easier for me to figure out than OpenRpt
anyway.
GL!

p.s. Just looking at upgrading to APEX 4.0. Fun! :)
