I hope that last line was in Jest because I , for one, never once asked
Oracle to raise their prices.

This discussion keeps coming back to the Oracle Database, but I thought
the OP was asking about the Oracle Berkeley DB as an embedded DB. Did
we get off track?

Fair point. I have zero experience with Berkeley DB so I've stayed out
of the fray. But I do have experience with Oracle's "embedded" license
structure and depending on the application and how embedded the database
actually is, Oracle offers up to an 80% discount on the price. Not bad.

we must remember it is customers who drive the price up, not Oracle.
