I think the first problem is if it is going to become suddenly commercial,
and that will be the same than equal for that is better to stay in Oracle,
Maybe I'm wrong but I remember that happened with mysql before Oracle
bought it. It was free and one day you had to pay for it.

Q: What company owns PostgreSQL?
A: None. We are an unincorporated association of volunteers and companies
who share code under the PostgreSQL License. The PostgreSQL project
involves a couple dozen companies who either support PostgreSQL
contributors or directly contribute corporate projects to our repository.
Some of our major corporate sponsors are on the sponsors page, and there
are many more companies who contribute to the project in other ways.
I don't know if this will guarantee this will be always free, but at leastthis reduces the opssibility it becomes a commercial application, and will
I think it touches the problem that open sources database can becomecommercial database.

standard
