Tell Oracle to support a "lite" version that doesn't have a five-year 
shelflife, and sell it cheaper.  That's the way the world is going: it 
gives them an excuse to walk away from their losing "high margin" 
strategy and move towards a "volume" strategy.

Of course, this is Larry E. we're talking about, so don't expect 
rational or good decisions to come out of that steaming pile.
