I don't think it realy matters if people know if Oracle was to do this (although I agree it's very unlikely at this point)

They will still buy Oracle stuff because postgresql + Oracle's improvements would be better then postgresql by itself. They may just have to work harder to justify their pricing practices. :-)

(Maybe the commodity curve will *gradually* overtake Oracle and it will
die a natural death ... but that day is a long way off; perhaps even
further than the heat death of Redmond)

Oh ya.. A LLLOOONNNGGG way off. Not anytime this decade it looks like.
