SAP DB

Перевод на английский с http://slashdot.org

SAP goes OpenSource

According to informations from the german computer magazine c't, the SAP company will make an announcement tomorrow at the LinuxWorld conference in Frankfurt. They will publish their database ('SAP DB') under the GPL (or LGPL) license. Up to now, this database has been mainly used together with the company's flagship product, SAP R3. However, R3 also provides interfacing to other database systems like Informix, Oracle or DB2. SAP DB is the first large scale software product whose source code has been made public by SAP.

Я фигею! :[ ]

А че фигеть? Oracle - основной конкурент SAP. А теперь получится, что клиентам не надо платить за SAP DB, ну и доля Oracle может уменьшится :)
