I have never used EnterpriseDB and I am only aware of it from a distance but it has always struck me as the ideal open source arrangement. Sure, EnterpriseDB is never going to have the revenue numbers of Oracle but their management and business teams should have a much easier time sleeping at night. I think it is great that EnterpriseDB has identified that it is better for their company to exist as part of a healthy ecosystem instead of trying to pave paradise so to speak.

A healthy relationship with open source projects is a great way to attract talent and gain goodwill.

Why? What is Oracle doing so wrong that they cant sleep as well at night?
