Rumor Mill: Oracle Licensing DB for \'Free\'
I don't know if there is any truth to this, but there is a rumor going around that Oracle will announce a new licensing model for the Oracle DB. I would like to know if anyone can confirm.
The rumor going around is Oracle will begin licensing like the Oracle DB in the Red stack like IBM has been doing with the Blue stack. Essentially, by paying maintenance for the Red stack, you would get unlimited licenses for the Oracle DB (assuming you run Oracle DB for JDE).
I guess they are trying to lure away the Blue stack competition (and, ostensibly, DB2/400). Can anyone confirm or deny?
