Misinformation on Databases
On the page:
http://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian
Verbiage is:
For those interested in databases, Debian ships with two popular database
programs: mySQL and PostgreSQL. Of course, if your boss forces you to use
a commercial application, Oracle, Informix, IBM DB2, SAP DB and several
others are available for Linux.
To be picky MySQL and Postgres are just as commercial as the others, you
really should say if your boss forces you to use a proprietary
application,... But the real gripe is that SAP DB is Free (GPL) and its
tools are Free (LGPL) and it is in process of being packaged for Debian
even.
