I think even if we are asked to pay for it.. They could give away the source code with it..
I think the 150+ MB of product size is significantly due to code bloat and significant redundancy..
( and there universal concensus on that). The entire gzip file of postgres anathor ORDBMS is only 7.5 MB.. Remember...
Why cant we customize the oracle code for our own purposes. I think if netscape can do it.. Oracle too can.. Rajiv

John,

I think there would be almost universal concensus in the user community that if Oracle would give their products away free, people would be willing to stop criticising Oracle corp. :)
