Bottom line is the market for saleable database software has shrunk, else Oracle would be selling their low end database on the Oracle name alone instead of giving it away at no charge. While this may be great for those that want all their software for free, it's not a good sight for those that prefer to make a profit, or even a living off it. Small customization jobs are going to be all that's left for programmers, as the freeware mob slowly destroys the current titans of the industry.
