I think you will find that you are preaching to the converted here. I think
that you wll find that the vast majority of Oracle professionals care little
or nothing for marketing, in the same way that most IT professionals working
with open source software (including those at Orbitz, since it runs on
linux, no doubt) recognize that Open Source is neither free nor the solution
to all the world's ills even if its advocates claim both.
