Not something I would have expected Oracle to do, at least as long as the servers in the build farm did not need replacing or other such expensive maintenance. I've used PostgreSql in the past & yes it is a lot like Oracle, especially the current release, but in many a shop it's not acceptable just because it does not have a MOS equal when trouble hits. Wonder if a similar fate awaits Open Office as well.
